Dr. Conroy: Dr. Ivanov, you've told us about undergraduate clinical
training in the Medical Faculty. How does the training course at a
medical school end? And what about specialization?
Dean: You see, in our country graduate medical students take a final
state examination which includes theoretical questions in internal dis-
eases, surgery and obstetrics and gynaecology, as well as in clinical
cases. The graduates also have to demonstrate their practical skills.
Those who have passed the examination receive their diploma, which
certifies them as doctors. Having received a diploma they may either
take a one-year internship course qualifying them as general health care
specialists, or a two-year residency course qualifying them as narrow
specialists.
Dr. Brown: Dr. Ivanov, would you kindly tell us what facilities your
doctors have for specialization?
Dean: Interns and residents work under the direct supervision of ex-
perienced specialists in clinics and in major hospitals. Medical graduates
can also apply for the post-graduate training. For three years post-
graduates do research into one of the important problems of modern
medicine, prepare a thesis, defend it, and obtain an academic degree of
Candidate of Medical Science.

designed 1) to acquaint students with cell and tissue structure in corre-
lation to their study of biochemistry and physiology and 2) to provide
(hem with a working knowledge of normal light microscope morphology
as background for their later study of pathology. The lectures will cover
