About
The Pediatrics educational program is aimed at training pediatricians with the in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical skills necessary to provide medical care to children in our region and beyond.
Program Description
Work during student years. Students who successfully complete three or more years of higher medical education in General Medicine and Pediatrics can earn a certificate and work as a nurse, ambulance attendant, or ambulance paramedic.
Fundamental training. Studying fundamental disciplines is the foundation of medical education and lays the foundation for medical students, enabling them to easily master clinical disciplines and develop in research.
The simulation center is widely used in the educational process. Here, students begin to practice practical skills, manipulations, surgical and resuscitation techniques on simulators and models before working with young patients in a real clinical setting.
Clinical sites. The Department of Pediatrics is located on the premises of the Tula Regional Children's Clinical Hospital, where practical classes for students and residents are also held. Other facilities for studying pediatrics include: the Tula Children's City Clinical Hospital; the E.G. Lazarev City Clinical Hospital No. 2, Children's Medical Center; the D.Ya. Vanykin Tula City Clinical Emergency Hospital (Children's Outpatient Clinic); and the Tula City Hospital No. 9.
Practice-oriented. The educational process takes place "at the patient's bedside," allowing students to acquire essential practical skills, assess their capabilities, and learn to build relationships with young patients and their parents.
Career Paths. Medical organizations in Tula and the surrounding region are eager to recruit pediatricians. For those who wish to continue their education and become a specialist, the medical institute offers clinical residency opportunities in such specialties as otolaryngology, ophthalmology, neurology, pediatric surgery, and many others. Those wishing to continue their research can enroll in graduate school and subsequently become members of our teaching team.
Research. Students' research is supported and encouraged, beginning in their first years of medical school. Clinical research is based on an analysis of current literature, patient observation, and evaluation of the effectiveness and safety of diagnostic and therapeutic measures, which can improve the treatment of children.
