Established in 1992, the department is responsible for overseeing postgraduate medical education. Its activities include organisation, coordination and control of the teaching and learning process and are carried out in the following directions:
- PhD research degree program;
- MD research degree program;
- internship of new graduates;
- clinical residency.
The department annually supervises over 300 postgraduate students both from our country and abroad and provides training for about 700 interns enhancing their knowledge, skills and understanding in order to advance professional development.
Research degree training is provided by the teaching staff of the clinical and academic departments of the University. For each research student a personal supervisor is appointed. Supervisors draw on their own special experience of the subject to guide the students’ research work, and give encouragement and critical advice.
Postgraduate education is provided in 38 specialities and clinical residency encompasses 33 specialities.
Over the past five years 107 PhD research students and 449 clinical residents have completed their course of postgraduate education including near 100 international students from 19 countries.
