Moreover, the entire educational process is structured, dosed for students, which, of course, facilitates the learning process and sets the student to receive more knowledge.

But there are also negative points: not everyone can force themselves to engage systematically and daily. Moreover, medical universities in Kazakhstan do not practice this form of education.
