Conditions
For the proper training of doctors at TSMU, the faculties work according to programs that meet the educational standard of HPE. The educational process is conducted at 45 clinical and theoretical departments,plus one self-guided course. 390 teachers work here. Forty departments of TSMA are headed by doctors of medical sciences.
Ten clinical disciplines are taught in the educational and medical (polyclinic) and scientific and practical complexes of the academy. Practical classes of many theoretical departments are held in their own museums. Surgeons also have their own operating room with laboratory animals.
Training sequence
Freshmen and sophomores study theoretical and biomedical disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, anatomy and physiology, histology, after which they begin to study the diseased organism and the development of the disease at the departments of pathological physiology and anatomy. At the same time, students are attached to the sacrament of examination and proper communication with patients - from the third year, training is already mostly in clinical departments. Surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology are being studied.
In the following courses - senior - disciplines of a narrower profile appear - dermatology, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, nervous and infectious diseases, psychiatry. In the sixth year, the results are summarized through state certification - a three-stage exam: test control, practical skills testing, then an oral interview and problem solving in situations. After that, graduates are sent to an internship or residency to continue their education in their chosen speci alty.
Faculty of Pediatrics
There are 44 departments at the faculty, four of which are specialized. The teaching staff of specialized departments consists of 26 people, including four professors and 11 associate professors. 85 percent of teachers have academic degrees. The entire faculty has more than 300 employees, 50 doctors and almost 200 candidates of medical sciences, three honored workers of science of Russia, 11 honored doctors, four honored workers of the Higher School of the Russian Federation and many other honored people. There are more than ten corresponding members of academies of sciences alone.
Technically, the faculty is provided almost completely with computer equipment, and printers, and scanners, and multimedia projectors, as well as purely medical devices, such as ECG and resuscitation phantoms. All children's and adult medical institutions of the city became clinical bases for the faculty. The personnel that the faculty trains equip both Tverskaya and all neighboring regions. Graduates work in the Kaluga, Bryansk, Pskov, Moscow regions.
Faculty of Pharmacy
A pharmacist is a specialist who thoroughly understands medicines, as well as dosages for use and their composition. In the Russian Federation, a pharmacist is a specialist of the highest category, to whom consultants, pharmacists and other pharmacy employees are subordinate. Today, a pharmacist is a manager-pharmacologist: he is a leader, although he will be able to prepare and dispense medicines better than many.
And in Europe it is quite the opposite: there the pharmacist obeys and helpsa pharmacist, who is usually at least a master's degree. In Russia, pharmacists are trained by medical schools. Therefore, it is difficult for students of the Faculty of Pharmacy to study, like for all doctors, and it will cost a lot of effort to confirm the level of education abroad, even if it is a TSMA diploma.
Chairs
Training takes place at the departments of clinical and theoretical. In total, the State Tver Medical Academy has 64. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has a course in this speci alty at the Faculty of Postgraduate Education.
