Organisation of the educational process in the 2nd year of internship in surgery at Odesa National Medical University

Abstract

The internship is a mandatory form of postgraduate primary specialisation for graduates of all faculties of higher education institutions of III–IV accreditation levels. The main purpose of the internship in surgery is to provide basic training for graduates to work independently as doctors in the speciality of surgery. After successful completion of the internship in surgery, interns are awarded the qualification of a surgeon. The importance of internship training is increasingly growing in view of the special requirements for graduates of medical higher education institutions: professionalism, activity, communication skills based on mutual understanding, and the ability to make quick decisions.
