STAGES OF EDUCATION
1. Bachelor's degree allows you to get a general higher education, which will be a preparatory stage.
Typically, applicants first receive a Bachelor of Science degree in biology or other related subject,
and then proceed to qualify as a physician. If there is no such diploma behind him, then the applicant
must pass an additional preparatory course before admission and passing the exam.
2. The next stage is admission to one of the higher medical schools. Requirements for entrance
examinations can vary significantly across universities.
3. The first two years of study include theoretical classes in the classroom. Students master the
terminology, pharmacology, anatomy. Practical training takes place for the next two years. Students
take care of the sick, provide assistance in emergency situations. In addition, during this period,
students are given the opportunity to determine their further specialization. Upon graduation,
students take a qualifying exam, which allows them to obtain a license and find a job.
4. To become an independent specialist, a graduate has to go through the last stage - residency. The
duration of this period is influenced by the field of activity that the young doctor will determine for
himself. Residency for family doctors will take 2 years, and for other specialties 4-6 years. Thus, the
total training period for medical professionals is at least 8 years.
