Overview

Medical Universities and Academies train future doctors and pharmacists. Doctors' training takes six years but stomatologists' or pharmacists' training lasts five years. The training course consists of lectures, practical work in laborato­ries, and medical practice at different medical institutions. During the first two years the students of the Medical Universities have general subjects, as Physics, Chemistry, Anatomy, Biology and others. In the senior years they study clinical subjects, as Therapy, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gy­naecology and other subjects. The senior students acquire practical skills, working at hospitals and polyclinics. Having passed all credit tests, young doctors begin to work as interns during a certain period. After graduation from the University they work as different speci­alists at the medical institutions.
