New competencies vector for occupational health physician

Transformation of the working environment and digitalization of healthcare require expansion of occupational health physicians’ competencies. Aim: to identify the main directions for developing new professional competencies. An analytical review of publications for 2020–2026 (PubMed, eLibrary, Cyberleninka) was conducted. Nine directions were identified: risk management, work psychophysiology, occupational safety auditing, Big Data, artificial intelligence, evidence-based medicine, genetics and early diagnosis, infectious risks, and working-life longevity. These competencies are necessary for the transition to a preventive model of workers’ health protection.
