Course Overview

The General Medicine (MBBS equivalent) program at Pskov State University is structured to provide a comprehensive medical education through a balanced integration of theoretical instruction, practical laboratory work, and clinical experience. Students begin by mastering anatomy, physiology, histology, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, and medical ethics before progressing into organ-system medicine and patient management. The curriculum emphasizes small-group practical classes and simulation-based training, allowing students to develop confidence in physical examination, clinical procedures, and communication skills before entering healthcare settings.

Clinical education is carried out in affiliated hospitals and medical institutions where students rotate through internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics & gynecology, neurology, infectious diseases, and emergency care. Alongside clinical studies, the program promotes preventive medicine, public health, and research-based learning to support holistic medical education. Graduates complete practical internships and state assessments with the clinical knowledge and professional skills required for modern medical practice.
