Educational Goals
The primary goal of the Department of Special Clinical Disciplines within the 6B10188 Medicine Educational Programme is to provide students with comprehensive and in-depth theoretical knowledge in specialised clinical disciplines, develop their practical and clinical skills, and enhance their professional competencies.

During their studies, students acquire the knowledge and practical skills required to analyse clinical cases, make well-founded decisions, and provide preventive, diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitation care to patients.
The Department is committed to preparing highly qualified and competitive physicians capable of delivering high-quality, safe, and specialised medical care to communities, individuals, and families. Particular emphasis is placed on adherence to the principles of medical ethics and deontology, professional responsibility, effective communication, lifelong learning, and continuous professional development.
