The training should emphasize conditions as tension headache, migraine, dizziness, dorsopathy, neuropathy, chronic cerebrovascular disease (including vascular cognitive impairment), and acute cerebral circulatory failure. Required knowledge should encompass diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these conditions. Essential practical skills include assessing motor function (coordination, muscle strength, tendon and pathological reflexes), evaluating tactile and pain sensitivity, and examining meningeal symptoms.</p> <p><italic>CONCLUSION: </italic>A general practitioner’s knowledge and practical skills in neurology in outpatient settings should enable them to diagnose, treat, and prevent common nervous system diseases with stable or mild-to-moderate courses.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Обоснование. На сегодняшний день чётко не определён перечень заболеваний и патологических состояний нервной системы, составляющих границы профессиональной ответственности врача общей практики так же, как и перечень соответствующих знаний и практических навыков.</p> <p>Цель. Определить актуальные области профессиональных компетенций, а также перечень знаний и практических навыков врача общей практики в сфере нервных болезней при оказании первичной медико-санитарной помощи в условиях многопрофильной поликлиники.</p> <p>Материалы и методы. Использован метод экспертных оценок. В исследовании принял участие 41 эксперт, соответствующий критериям включения.</p> <p>Результаты. Основными областями профессиональных компетенций врача общей практики в области неврологии являются наиболее распространённые в амбулаторной практике заболевания нервной системы. В связи с этим в процессе подготовки акцент должен быть сделан на таких нозологических формах и симптомах, как головная боль напряжения, мигрень, головокружение, дорсопатия, невропатия, хроническая цереброваскулярная болезнь (в т. ч. сосудистые когнитивные нарушения), острое нарушение мозгового кровообращения. Знания в обозначенных областях должны касаться диагностики, лечения и профилактики. Перечень практических навыков включает оценку двигательной функции (координации движений, исследование мышечной силы, сухожильных рефлексов и патологических рефлексов), оценку тактильной и болевой чувствительности, исследование менингеальных симптомов.</p> <p>Заключение. Знания и практические навыки врача общей практики в области неврологии должны обеспечивать возможность диагностики, лечения и профилактики в амбулаторных условиях распространённых заболеваний нервной системы, которые имеют стабильное течение или протекают в лёгкой или средней форме.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>general practitioner</kwd><kwd>general medical practice</kwd><kwd>primary healthcare</kwd><kwd>neurology</kwd><kwd>competencies</kwd><kwd>knowledge</kwd><kwd>practical skills</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>врач общей практики</kwd><kwd>общая врачебная практика</kwd><kwd>первичная медико-санитарная помощь</kwd><kwd>неврология</kwd><kwd>компетенции</kwd><kwd>знания</kwd><kwd>практические навыки</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Shastin AS, Malykh OL, Gazimova VG, et al.
