ABSTRACT. Historical, scientific, methodological and organizational aspects of the formation of a new preventive direction in medical science and practical public health, the environmental medicine, were considered together with long-term projects for its development. The strategic goal for the departmental program concept on the development of the environmental medicine was defined. The tasks for development of the environmental medicine along the implementation of the Climate Doctrine of Russia and the Strategy for Development of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation until 2020 were formulated. A project of transition to the system of infrastructural and informational support of personalized prophylaxis of occupationally and ecologically determined pathology among workers of metallurgical, machine-building plants and the population of adjacent territories was proposed for implementation. The main groups of environmental threats to public health were considered. Approaches to creation of a system for training medical and scientific personnel in the specialty "Environmental Medicine" were formed.
