The degree programme prepares students for their future work as medical practitioners. It is organized according to a credit system fully compatible with the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). This enables students to undertake part of their studies at European partner universities. Semesters 1-4 include theoretical subjects (Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Medical Biophysics, Medical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Physiology, etc.). Preclinical subjects (Pathology, Microbiology, Pathological Physiology, Pharmacology, etc.) are taught in semesters 5-7. Subsequent semesters include clinical subjects (Internal Medicine, Surgery, Urology, Orthopaedics, Neurosurgery, Anaesthesia and Intensive Care, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Paediatrics, Dermatology and Venereology, Neurology, Otorhinolaryngology, Ophthalmology, Clinical Oncology, Psychiatry, etc.), together with public health care subjects (Social Medicine, Epidemiology, Forensic Medicine and Medical Law). Adequate attention is devoted to other subjects such as Medical Genetics, Medical Immunology, Medical Ethics, Latin and other foreign languages. An integral part of the course is practical training in the main clinical disciplines (Internal Medicine, Paediatrics, Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics) as well as in a general practitioner's surgery. The course concludes with advanced Master's state examinations in Internal Medicine, Paediatrics, Surgery, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Epidemiology, Social Medicine and Medical Law. The course also prepares students for studies on the post-graduate level (in Ph.D. programmes) and for the needs of the health service.
