MEDICAL EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

The main task of medicine is the care about the people's health. For that reason the training of the medical personnel is very important.

Medical and Pharmaceutical Institutes train future doctors and pharmacists. Doctors' training takes six years but stomatologists' or pharmacists' training lasts five years. The curriculum and syllabuses for these Institutes are approved by the Ministry of Public Health.

The main administrative unit of medical Institute or University is the faculty. As a rule the Medical University or Institute may have one or more faculties (medical, stomatological and others), headed by the dean. He/She is responsible for administrative affairs of the faculty.

The training course consists of lectures, practical classes, practical work in laboratories and medical practice at different medical institutions. During the first two years the students of the Medical Institutes have so-called pre-clinical training, which includes general subjects, as Physics, Chemistry, Anatomy, Biology and others. In the senior years they study clinical subjects, as Therapy, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynaecology and others.

The senior students acquire practical skills, working at many hospitals, polyclinics, sanitary epidemiological stations, and chemist's shops. They acquire such practical skills, as to examine patients, to make a diagnosis, to prescribe proper treatment, to fill in case histories. A lot of students participate in scientific societies; their dream is to become research workers in future.

Having passed the state examinations, young doctors begin to work as interns during a certain period.

After graduation from the Institute they work as different specialists at the medical institutions.

The most advanced specialists are engaged in research. They defend theses and obtain degrees of candidates of science (medicine).
