A collection of methodological guidelines has been created for 4th- to 6th-year students to assist with preparation for each lesson topic in accordance with the curriculum (uploaded to the NMU repository).

In addition to study materials, department staff have developed a test bank used for interim and final modular assessments of 4th- to 6th-year students.

Particular attention is paid to preparing students for the ” Step-2″ licensing exam at the Department of Surgery (with a course in abdominal surgery). To this end, designated staff members regularly update the department’s ” Step-2: Surgery” test bank with new questions appearing in the general ” Step-2″ database managed by the Ministry of Health’s Center for Quality of Education (the department’s certified representative at the Center is Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor O.M. Petrenko).

Practical classes with students are conducted according to the curriculum not only theoretically, but also, mainly, at the patient’s bedside, in manipulation, dressing, operating, diagnostic departments (practical part).
