DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY MEDICINE (GENERAL PRACTICE)

Department of General Practice-Family Medicine of Bogomolets National Medical University. The Department of General Practice – Family Medicine was established in 1997 under the name “Department of Outpatient Therapy” and it was the first step towards the introduction of outpatient care on the basis of family medicine in Ukraine. Gradually, the training program for students and interns was supplemented with skills that were not within the competence of an internal medicine doctor, but were essential for a general practitioner. As of today, students acquire practical skills in communicating with patients and their families, study palliative medicine, pain medicine, etc. Now the staff of the department has begun to involve students in the routine use of ultrasound diagnostics in the practice of a family doctor. After conducting specialized trainings, the basics of psychological diagnostics in the practice of a family doctor were introduced into the course. The course is maximally designed to create a trusting relationship between the patient and the doctor, the introduction of advocacy principles, and learning to communicate in various life situations. Of great importance is the economic section, where students learn how the specialty of a general practitioner can become the basis of their and their families’ well-being. The department tries to maintain professional and human relations with its students and sees them as its future employees.
