Graduates of the Department of Fundamental Medicine have a high educational level, which gives future doctors significant competitiveness both in Ukraine and abroad, provides the possibility of their employment, and creates a thorough basis for building a brilliant career in the health care system.

The teaching staff of the department includes doctors of science, professors, candidates of science, associate professors, and assistants, who have extensive scientific and pedagogical experience in both medical and educational institutions.

To ensure the educational process, a modern material and technical base was created on the basis of the department, which meets the requirements of training specialists at a high professional level. The teachers of the department developed and updated lecture texts, detailed plans for laboratory and practical classes, and prepared sets of test tasks for the current and final control of students’ knowledge. A database (lectures, laboratory, tests, tasks for individual work, questions for self-control, literature, etc.) was created for each discipline. Work on the implementation of modern learning technologies is constantly being carried out. It is practiced to conduct seminars and practical classes on the basis of our Academy.

Lectures are conducted using modern multimedia and computer technology and a sufficient number of visual materials. Practical classes in medical biology, microbiology, virology and immunology, histology, cytology, and embryology are conducted with the use of modern demonstration tools, cytomorphological preparations, and the use of microscopes. Classes on human anatomy and physiology are conducted using artificial models of organs, the human skeleton, educational films, training manuals, and workbooks, which allows to optimize the learning of the material by students and enables them to get a visual experience starting from the basic stages of learning.
