Abstract
The article examines the potential of the WHO Academy platform (OpenWHO) for the continuous professional development of medical personnel. Against the backdrop of the historical evolution of international educational cooperation and the role of intergovernmental organizations in shaping global training standards, the paper analyses the possibilities of using WHO online courses as a tool for updating knowledge. Particular attention is paid to the regulatory and legal barriers to the recognition of documents issued by the WHO Academy within the Russian system of continuing professional education. The conclusion proposes possible ways to integrate international educational resources into the national framework for accreditation and recognition of qualifications.
