Transparency of assessment. One of the key components of medical education in Ukraine is the Unified State Qualification Examination (USQE), which certifies the level of professional training of future doctors in accordance with current national and international standards. The USQE for applicants for higher education in the specialty “Medicine” includes several stages, the main ones being:
КРОК 1;
КРОК 2;
Practically-oriented clinical examination (OSCE);
English language exam for professional purposes.
Preparation for the USQE is actually the basis for further adaptation of higher education applicants to international licensing exams, in particular:
USMLE (USA),
PLAB (Great Britain),
MCCQE (Canada),
medical licensing exams of the European Union and the Middle East.
International recognition and status The National Medical University has its own clinical facilities – the University Clinic and the Dental Medical Centre. This provides an opportunity to learn at the patient’s bedside.
