Axiological dimensions of medical deontology in pediatric surgery

Abstract

Philosophy and axiology constitute the worldview and methodological basis of medical deontolo gy, particularly in surgery. The genesis of knowledge about moral and ethical principles and the professional duty of a pediatric surgeon is presented in the form of a logical chain: philosophy – axiology – deontology – medical deontology – deontology in surgery – deontology in pediatric surgery. The process of forming the deontological competence of medical professionals in pediatric surgery will be successful if the organization of deontological training for future healthcare providers is based on principles of humanism, in compliance with the requirements of the social environment, and implemented in the educational process through a productive mechanism.
