The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for specialized medical professionals, including specialist nurses. To address this, healthcare systems should collaborate with national agencies to develop and implement comprehensive curricula for training these specialists. The educational process should be based on international standards, incorporating digital education techniques like e-learning, interactive content, and virtual reality-based medical models. Trainers should adopt a supportive role, guiding and organizing the educational process.
