"Into whatever house I may enter, I will go for the benefit of the sick," reads the physician's 2000-year-old Hippocratic oath and with it students begin their studies at medical Institutes and Medical faculties of our country.

There are many Medical Institutes in Russia and if you wish to become a physician, a stomatologist, a surgeon you must enter one of them. To acquire the necessary knowledge of the sturcture and functions of the human body the students have to dissect corpses and make experiments on animals. They must also attend lectures on Anatomy, Physiology, Biology, Histology, Microbiology, Surgery, social subjects, Latin and foreign languages.

With the knowledge acquired from books and laboratory work, the senior students are allowed to treat patients. In the hospital wards they are taught how to examine patients and they may do physical examinations on their own. Sometimes the students may even be asked to diagnose a difficult case.

After the 4th year the students must undertake a practical course during which they act as doctors' assistants. Treating the same patients on their repeated visits he can learn the importance of good doctor-patient relationship.

Twice a year in whiter and in spring time medical students must pass examinations. At the examination students may get excellent, good or satisfactory marks. It is very disagreeable to get an unsatisfactory mark, then the student must pass another examination in autumn. Those who study well get grants.

He headed the department of surgical dentistry in the Moscow Stomatology Institute and delivered lectures not only to the students of this Institute but also to the dentists at the Central Medical Institute for doctors advanced training.

His classification of inflammatory processes in oral cavity and their treatment are used in modern textbooks on oral surgery now. His works on rehabilitation after maxillo-facial surgery are also well known.
