The study of medicine and related natural disciplines in European universities is conducted at a high scientific level. In Europe, high demands are placed on medical workers: both for theoretical training and for professional skills, therefore, the requirements for medical departments of universities are similar.
To make a correct diagnosis, the doctor must win over the patient, inspire confidence. Therefore, in addition to medical skills, high requirements are imposed on the ability to communicate with people. In European universities, students of medical specialties are taught to treat patients correctly, to solve medical problems, taking into account medical and human ethics.
Treatment of patients in the clinic is a task for the medical team, where everyone works for the result, therefore, time and attention is also given to teaching teamwork. The ability to work with a computer is also important, since Western clinics are equipped with sophisticated modern technology, many processes are computerized.
Medical laboratories at universities receive the latest equipment as they prepare the future of medicine. Sometimes not all clinics are equipped with such equipment. The main emphasis in training is on working with real patients, so universities with medical departments have their own hospitals, where students work together with experienced specialists.
