Ukrainian medical stomatological Academy

I am a student of the Higher State Educational Establishment of Ukraine "Ukrainian Medical Stomatological Academy". Our Aca­demy is situated in the center of our city. About 3.000 students study at the Academy. There are some faculties at our Academy: medical, stomatological, nursing, dental technician, grounding and post-graduate education. Medical faculty trains doctors of different specialities: family doctors, surgeons, pediatricians, therapeutists, gynaecologists and others. Stomatological faculty prepares stomatologists of different specialities. Doctors' training takes six years and stomatologists’ training lasts five years.

During the first two years the students study Physics, Chemistry, Anatomy, Biology, Histology, History of Medicine, Latin, foreign languages and other pre-clinical subjects. Senior students study Therapy, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Dentistry and others. To make good progress in these and other subjects, medical students must work hard on them.

During the lectures we make notes of new and interesting facts and listen to the lecturer attentively. Sometimes we work in a laboratory. We know that we shall need deep knowledge of many subjects in our future work.

Our classes last till 4.50 p.m. A lesson lasts 90 minutes with a 5-minute break and 40-minute interval between lessons.

We have practical training at hospitals and polyclinics. Senior students acquire such practical skills, as to examine patients, to make a diagnosis, to prescribe proper treatment, and to fill in case histories.

The academic year starts in September and is over in June. It con­sists of two terms.

Our teachers are very qualified. Several outstanding scientists work at our Academy. Their research works are well known in our country and abroad.
