A student having earned 41-50 points is eligible to sit for the additional exam. A student is to set for the additional exam in the same semester within at least 5 days after the announcement of the result.
First two years students study basics of medicine – Body Structure in the norm (integrated modules: anatomy-histology-imaging), Body Function in the norm and neuroscience (integrated modules: physiology-biochemistry), main concepts of biomedical sciences: Cell Biology (integrated with biochemistry), Molecular Biology and Genetics, Immunology, basics of research – argumentation, reasoning skills; health and society, Clinical and Professional skills (CAPs) (integrated with Medical Ethics and Communication in Medicine).
Integrated modules are taught in the format of interactive lectures, practical training, seminars, labs, simulation lab., etc. Students use high-fidelity mannequins, simulators, anatomical specimens, microscopes, microscopic specimens, audio-video equipment, etc. Lecturers use Problem-Based learning – (PBL, clinical correlations)
The third year covers preclinical courses – health and defense, basics of clinical sciences, research skills, basics of physical and clinical diagnosis, health and society, and Clinical and Professional skills. Basics of Clinical Sciences covers integrated modules of Pathology and Pharmacology, and the course Health and Defence cover integrated modules of Microbiology, Pharmacology, and Immunology. The physical diagnosis provides basic methods of a patient’s physical examination according to the systems of the body. In compliance with it, the relevant methods of clinical investigation (radiology and laboratory) are taught in the courses of Clinical Diagnosis. The courses of Clinical and Professional Skills (CAPs) are held in clinics and simulation labs. Courses dealing with diagnostic methods use Case-Based Clinical Reasoning (CBCR cases). Students are engaged in clinical problem-solving and critical reasoning and develop skills of synthesis and analysis of information and its clinical application.
From the fourth year, students deal with clinical courses in the format of clinical rotations/clerkships – Internal Medicine, Infectious Diseases, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, Neurology, Psychiatry, Leadership, research skills, Clinical and Professional skills (CAPs), etc. Clinical courses from the 4th year have integrated OSCE exams each semester where the clinical and professional skills taught during the semester within clinical courses and the CAPs course are evaluated and assessed.
The sixth year is devoted to the advanced practice in medicine. Students study clinical activities in various inpatient and outpatient settings – Family Medicine, Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine, Geriatrics and Palliative Care, Emergency Medicine, Personalized Medicine, and Clinical Pharmacology.
The courses of Research Skills are studied during all 6 years and teach students the argumentative writing, medical databases and working in it, methods of research skills, epidemiology, biostatistics, evidence-based medicine, and finally students develop a project (XI semester). At this level, students have acquired methods and tools for the implementation of the research work – critical analysis of scientific literature, organization and development of research, data processing, analysis and synthesis, and presentation of the results of the conducted research work.
