On November 13-15, 2018, NMAPE passed a recertification audit of the DQS Company to confirm the compliance of the management system of the Academy with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001:2015. Within three days, a group of professional auditors worked to confirm the success of implementing the standard requirements in the Academy's processes.

Based on the results of the work, the auditors noted the outstanding achievements of the Academy team over the last 3 years. As the first Ukrainian institution of higher education, which has been certified according to the standard version of 2015, NMAPE is an absolute leader in postgraduate medical training, and the established corporate culture successfully combines the individual traits of the Academy and the best practices of modern management.

Most significantly, the auditors noted high professionalism and motivation of all employees, openness and commitment to the principles of achieving the highest quality. Last year achievements, such as passing the certification of the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM) and obtaining the Recognized for Excellence 5-Star Certificate, opening of the Simulation Training Center, developing corporate style and updating the Academy's official website, strengthening international partnership, building the system of risk management and managerial decision-making have become the key to high rating and a background of further development.

At the end of the closing meeting, the head of the audit team, Liana Shapran, wished NMAPE team to effectively develop the priority directions specified in the Academy's Strategy. The next step is the approval of the results by the German Certification Agency and obtaining the certificate.
