The study of legislation framework regulating the activity of psychiatrists was carried out. Need for juridical information, possibility to meet the need and ability of self-education of doctors of this professional group were studied.

The possibilities of training of doctors of different age groups were assessed. The organizational solutions to improve the professional competence of psychiatrists in terms of the practical use of legislation were proposed
