Practical psychologists of the Center for Pedagogy and Psychological Counseling conducted a seminar on "Medical deontology and medical secrecy" for doctors and nurses of the State Institution "TMO of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine in Kharkiv region". The progress of medicine in recent years contributes to the steady introduction of new methods of diagnosis and treatment in the work of medical institutions, which requires specific specialization of doctors' knowledge. A situation is created when medical workers focus on the study of individual organs and systems, which sometimes obscures their perception of the patient as a person, and complicates the observation of the patient. This becomes an urgent problem in medical ethics and medical deontology today.
