An analysis was made of the structure and number of medical workers (doctors and paramedical personnel) of the Moscow healthcare system for the period 2017-2021. The analysis showed that the number of medical full-time positions over the same period increased by 13.6%, and regular positions of nursing staff by 8.9%. The provision of the population (per 10 thousand population) with doctors increased by 13.0% from 35.6 in 2017 to 40.2 in 2021. The provision of the population with nurses decreased by 2.4% from 58.4 in 2017 to 57.0 in 2021. Among medical workers, the number of individual doctors, over the same period, increased by 15.5%, and the number of individuals of paramedical personnel decreased by 3.4%. The staffing of medical rates (by positions), in general, decreased by 2.4% from 82.5 in 2017 to 80.5 in 2021, and the rates of nursing staff decreased by 9.7% from 87.4% in 2017 to 79.0% in 2021. The part-time ratio was 1.1 for medical positions and for positions of paramedical personnel. Issues related to low staffing and the coefficient of part-time employment for individual medical positions and positions of paramedical personnel require further resolution.

Background: Immersive virtual reality (iVR) has emerged as a training method to prepare medical first responders (MFRs) for mass casualty incidents (MCIs) and disasters in a resource-efficient, flexible, and safe manner. However, systematic evaluations and validations of potential performance indicators for virtual MCI training are still lacking.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether different performance indicators based on visual attention, triage performance, and information transmission can be effectively extended to MCI training in iVR by testing if they can discriminate between different levels of expertise.
