In the senior courses (4th– 6th year), training follows a cyclical system. Each discipline of professional (clinical) level is studied daily for one, two or more weeks (“cycle”).

 

Clinical classes are held in clinics where students work (independently and under the supervision of a teacher) with patients undergoing treatment.

 

In the course of clinical studies at each of the departments, the professional activity of a doctor is modeled (admission of a patient with the collection of complaints, anamnesis, an objective examination and writing of medical history, drawing up a plan of examination and treatment, analyzing laboratory and instrumental research data, correcting therapy, writing diaries of daily observation of the patient Clinical studies are held on the basis of university clinics and major hospitals within the city, as well as clinical research centers.

The academic year consists of 2 semesters; between them – a vacation period (summer and winter holidays); production practice is held in July. Academic hour duration: 45 minutes.

 

Student knowledge assessment system

 

At the moment, a 100-point cumulative scale is used, which includes theoretical knowledge (daily assessment of the student’s knowledge level, midterm control, tests and exams), practical skills, assessment of the level of self-preparation (mandatory part – writing a medical history, optional part – preparation of reports and presentations on topics), student discipline (attending lectures, practical classes, discipline in the classroom). Scientific and educational research work of students can be considered for bonus points.

 

To assess the current activity in the departments, a 5-point system can be used (“2” corresponds to “unsatisfactory”; “3” – “satisfactory”; “4” – “good”; “5” – “excellent”).

Safety & Security

Comparatively, Russia is generally not a dangerous country. It’s however necessary for students to follow basic safety principles.

Public Places and Transport

 

Crimea is an even safer and calmer place than most other parts of the country, but is not a complete absence of petty crimes, such as mugging, pickpocketing and theft. Pickpockets are most likely to be active in public transport during rush hour and in crowded places.

The following tips will greatly reduce your chances of becoming a victim of any kind of robbery:

  1. Be alert while on any public transport or in any public place at all. Do not get to absorbed in your gadgets and lose focus of your surrounding.
  2. Do not leave your personal items unattended or entrust your belongings to a complete stranger.
  3. Do not move about in the city with your bag open, and it is preferable to hold your bag in front of you when in public or crowded places.
  4. Do not display your expensive items or gadgets in public
  5. Do not carry large sums of cash on you. Try to acquire a bank card as soon as possible to enable you travel cash free.
  6. Do not keep information regarding your bank account or bank card in an unsafe place. Do not keep any information that grants access to your bank card together with the card.

 

Cyber and Online Security

 

When shopping or communicating online, it is necessary to take some safety measures just like you would in reality. Do not give your personal or account information to anyone on the internet, and do not reveal any other confidential information about yourself or place of residence.

 

Fraudsters and Scammers

 

  1. Do not spend time around suspicious looking individuals or people that you do not know
  2. Make use of official and reliable banks or companies when performing any kind of transactions
  3. Do not purchase sim cards from the street, it is preferable to go to the nearest official store of mobile network providers and purchase a sim card
  4. It is better to withdraw your cash through a bank outlet or at an ATM, and make sure that it is located at a secure location.
  5. Do not change currency with people on the street, it is better to perform these types of transactions in the bank

 

Leisure time

 

While students are encouraged to take part in extracurricular activity during their free time, safety most not be forgotten even in these times.

  • If you are attending a concert or a live show, it is better to take some friends along with you
  • Try to stick with the people with whom you attended a Programme with at an entertainment venue, and watch out for each other’s belongings. Be carful not to lose attention from your properties when the party is in full swing as this is very common.
  • It is preferable to go home by public transport or by taxi, but if you must walk, it is better to walk with a group of friends and only through well-lit streets
  • Try not to draw unwanted attention to yourself. Avoid strangers as much as you can. Cross the street or change paths if you have to.

 

Taxi

 

Flagging down a taxi is generally not a great option as there is chance of getting a driver that is not license. Such drivers may even be criminals. The better and more popular option is to use a taxi company. This is a safe option and the fare is fixed.

There are reputable taxi companies in the city such as Maxim taxi, Shark taxi etc.

 

Road Safety

 

Only use the pedestrian crossings when crossing the road. Make sure that there are no cars approaching before you attempt to cross the road. If there is a pedestrian traffic light on the crossing, ensure that you only cross when the light is green.

 

Identity Check

 

When off university campus, it is recommended to carry your passport, student ID and migration card with you. It is not unusual for a police officer or a security officer to request your ID before granting you passage into the university or into any of the university buildings. This is one of many counter-terrorism security measures taken not against you, but for your own safety. Russia is quite successful in counter-terrorism and takes special care about the security of Russian citizens and foreign nationals. Do not panic during security and ID checks. It is a standard crime prevention practice.

Accommodation

There are a few lodging options for students within the Russian federation, the most common being lodging in the university dormitories. Other options include lodging in an apartment or with a host family. While the choice of place of residence is fully dependent on the student, it is necessary to consider all options, as each option has its pros and cons.

 

A few factors to consider when contemplating your lodging options include affordability of housing, nearness to the university and associated departments, location within the city and distance from shopping centers, hospitals and other facilities, security and safety.

 

The university dormitory:

 

The university dorms are often the cheapest options, with cost ranging from 10,000p (137 USD) to 81,000p (1,106 USD) for a year. The dorms are quite comfortable with different room sizes and different number of students (seaters) per room. There are one seater, two seaters and three seater rooms across the six student dormitories owned by the university.

 

Each room is equipped with tables, chairs, wardrobes, beds and mattresses with pillows and bed clothing. An internet cable is connected to every room. There is a common bathroom shared only by roommates, hot and cold water runs in the bathrooms. A general kitchen located on every floor is shared by all floor members. There is 24 hours of electricity in the dormitories and constant water supply.

 

Some of the dormitories are located within the university compound, and those located outside the university compound are about a five-minute walk from the university.

 

There are various supermarkets located in the area of the dormitories and the larger shopping malls are about 10-15 minutes bus drive away from this area.

 

The student dorms are generally secure with security posts located in front of the dormitories and cameras surrounding the buildings. Only students are allowed into the dormitory buildings after checking of their student identification cards.

 

Students who live in a dormitory must follow certain rules such as not to damage the furniture, keep one’s room tidy, not make too much noise (loud music, TV, etc.). There is a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and smoking in Russian halls of residence. You will be informed about these rules upon arrival.

 

Apartments:

 

Students have the rights to live in external housing around the city, but this is a less popular option. The common rates for apartments within the city begin from 20,000p a month and there is not a specific upper limit.
