At the same time, taking into account changes in the legislation regulating the procedure for conducting military medical examination, it is relevant to specify and conceptualize the actual concept of military medical examination. Purpose. The work is aimed at identifying, analyzing and generalizing the essential features of the definition of the concept of «military medical examination» in an interdisciplinary context (medicine, law, formal logic). Materials and methods. To consider issues related to the identification of essential features, formulation and justification of the concept of military medical examination, the authors of the study used a complex of modern epistemological methods of cognition of objective reality, which include a systems approach and functional analysis, deductive reasoning and the derivation of inductive premises, theoretical argumentation and literary and scientific illustration, methodological comparison and empirical selection of relevant data. The complexity of the application of these epistemological means is ensured through the functions of the methods and approaches used (informational, methodological, orientation, support-target). The use of these methods and means made it possible to conceptualize the concept of «military medical examination» for its integration into the structure of modern scientific knowledge. Results and conclusions. The article effectively summarizes the essential features of the concept of «military medical examination» as one of the types of medical examinations, and describes its substantive, structural and functional components. The scope and content of the concept of «military medical examination» are given, and the significance of the conceptualization of this term for science and practice is indicated. Promising ways for further research are identified and current topics for further knowledge are presented.
