Structure of course
Standard curriculum is based on the government standard of education for
higher professional education for 040100 - General Medicine Specialty for
qualification of Physician (Doctor of Medicine) Moscow, Ministry of the health,
and Ministry of the Education of the Russian Federation.
There are following basic teaching methods at the university:
- Lecture based
- Small-group discussions and seminars
- Practical and laboratory works
- Tutorials
- Independent studies
- Assessments
- Clinical training - Clinical rotation (Bedside teaching, Ward rounds)
The First, Second and Third Years:
The first three years lay the foundation for an understanding of human biology,
its progression towards disease and subsequent medical treatment. The basic
medical science curriculum ushers the student through the study of anatomy,
physiology, histology, biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, general
pathology, genetics and principles of clinical medicine.
Students extend their initial studies of normal human biology and function into
abnormal processes and ultimate disease states. This is accomplished mainly
through the studies of pathology and clinical diagnosis. Pathology and Path
physiology of each organ system is studied preparing the student for the
upcoming clinical clerkship training. Pharmacology is also taken during the
third year. In Pharmacology, students study the metabolism, fate and effect of
chemical substances of clinical significance in biologic systems. They also
describe the action of drugs and define a framework for their use in correcting
disordered function. In this year, the student acquires a fundamental clinical
background applicable to any branch of medicine and begins crossing the
bridge between pre-clinical medical science and the practice of medicine.
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Year Curriculum:
In the last three years, the student begins to apply the knowledge acquired in
the first two years of the biomedical sciences and to sharpen clinical skill with a
series of clinical clerkships in Primary Care medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics,
Obstetrics and Gynecology, Emergency medicine, Internal medicine, Neurology
and Psychiatry. In these, the student learns to take responsibility for patient
care under supervision and interacts with attending physicians, residents,
nurses and other medical students. There is additional time devoted to surgery
and primary care.
Also in the fourth, fifth and sixth years, students take classes in other clinical
electives consisting of programs in cardiovascular disease, hematology,
infectious disease, renal disorders, respiratory disorders, neurology and
chronic diseases. There are also a limited amount of carefully directed
independent studies.
Learning experiences during the years of clinical training are diverse and
include seminars, lectures, demonstrations, ward rounds, and grand rounds.
However the essence of training is the interaction with patients. Students
engage with the faculty in clinical pathological correlation discussions and
analysis of the mechanisms that express themselves as the signs and
symptoms in the history and physical examination.
The student is also free to take electives in any area of medicine. These may
include ambulatory care, primary care, orthopedics or physical medicine.
Students may also elect to participate in research projects at the Academy's
departments and affiliated hospitals.
