MEDICAL EDUCATION IN UZBEKISTAN
Every year in Uzbekistan many young people who has the secondary education, who really care for medicine and have passed successfully their entrance examinations, enter the medical institutes and become students.
At a Bachelor’s Degree, the course of study is five or six years. During this period the students master the basis of theoretical and practical medicine. In the first, second and third courses medical students study pre-clinical subjects such as Latin Medical Terminology, Human Anatomy, Histology, Biology, Organic and Non-organic Chemistry, Normal and Pathological Physiology, Foreign Languages and others. It’s very important for medical workers to know foreign languages. They can read special medical literature in the original to know more about modern medical scientific achievements.
When the academic year is over students have practical training. They work as nurses and doctor’s assistants at the therapeutic, surgical and other departments and learn how to measure blood pressure, take temperature, count pulse rate, give intramuscular and intravenous injections and to take care of patients.
At the senior courses medical students study special subjects such as Cardiology, Urology, Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Dermatovenerologic Diseases, Gynecology and many others. They gain professional skill in the Clinical Hospitals of our republic. In six years of hard study the students gain the necessary knowledge and get a diploma of a general practitioner.
