MEDICAL SCHOOL

The medical school trains junior specialists for 2 specialties:

The Intersectoral Accreditation Board of Ukraine conferred to the medical schools the IVth accreditation level (Decree of May 29, 1995).

The medical school administration and the corresponding departments of the University have been provided for modernizing and further equipping the laboratories and study rooms of the school with teaching aids, preparations, reagents, tools for laboratory works and practical studies. The University's library has assisted in providing the school with textbooks and aids.

Teachers are being selected to teach students at the school. To this end, the medical school teachers have been working as trainees at the corresponding departments of the University; the University teachers can combine their work with teaching at the school. Thus favorable conditions are provided to efficiently train junior specialists and apply the system of continuous staged training by comprehensive curricula and programs for medical nurses with the basic higher medical education - bachelor-nurses.
