On 28 September 2026, I. Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University held a meeting focused on opportunities to enhance the practical training of students pursuing a degree in Paramedicine.

The meeting was attended by Maxim Dohrmann, Health Project Manager at the non-governmental organisations “Artesans ResQ Ukraine” and “Artesans ResQ Germany e.V.” He met with TNMU Rector Petro Lykhatskyi to discuss prospects for cooperation in the education and training of future paramedics.

The discussion was also joined by Antonina Chervatiuk, Head of the Simulation Training Centre and Assistant Professor at the Department of Emergency and Simulation Medicine, and Emilia Burbela, Associate Professor at the Department of Paediatrics and Paediatric Surgery.

Maxim Dohrmann proposed sharing practical experience with TNMU paramedic students, particularly regarding the transportation of critically ill patients. In turn, the university rector invited the “Artesans ResQ” representative to become a guest lecturer and partner of the university.
