Internship training in surgery is carried out according to individual curricula developed on the basis of the internship training program. A comprehensive approach to solving topical issues of internship training will allow to raise the professional level of future doctors and surgeons.
Purpose - to show the specifics of the training of interns of the 1st year of study in accordance with individual curricula and the program of training in an internship in surgery.
11 interns are completing the 1st year of training in the educational part of the surgical internship at the Department of Surgery of Odesa National Medical University.
During the 1st year of internship in surgery, interns are trained in the educational part of the internship for 3 months (15.6 credits / 468 hours) from the following courses: Course 1. Organization of surgical services to the population. Course 3. Abdominal surgery. Course 7. Purulent surgical diseases. Course 8. Ambulatory surgery. Course 9. Thoracic surgery. Simulation training of surgical skills is an integral part of the surgical curriculum to acquire the necessary skills. The practical part of the internship takes 8 months (1248 hours). Acquired competencies / practical skills are reflected in the “Practice Diary”. The structure of the practical part of the internship determines the mastery level for each competency, practical skill, which is determined in the range from “A” to “C”: A: Has knowledge, describes. B: Assists. C: Performs under supervision.
Conclusions. During the first year of training in a surgery internship, the intern’s activities must be carefully monitored. The level of independent practice of an intern surgeon of the 1st year of training is based on active involvement in providing assistance, providing formative feedback between clinical supervisors and supervisors. An intern surgeon of the 1st year of training is considered competent in all aspects of professional activity if he can perform this activity independently.
