Reviews

For more than 140 years of activity, the educational institution has produced a galaxy of specialists working in the field of medicine in various cities of Ukraine, most of them praise the Dnepropetrovsk medical school. After the 11th grade, students study for 2.5-3 years, mastering a medical or midwifery case. In the reports about the school they tell about the difficulties in studying, connected with the large volume of the received knowledge, the exactitude of the teachers, which ultimately had a beneficial effect on the further activity in the conditions of real clinics.

Students note that desire and diligence are rewarded a hundredfold during the study period by successfully passed sessions, and at the time of work - by respect of colleagues and patients. Many enter the Dnepropetrovsk medical school after the 9th grade. Reviews of this part of the students are also filled with gratitude to teachers and strict regulations of student life.

In negative reviews, it is said that without additional material gratitude it is difficult to pass a part of the subjects, but no one complained about the quality of the work of the pedagogical staff or the gaps in the curricula. It is possible that students who have fully devoted themselves to the development of multi-faceted fields of medicine, learn subjects and successfully pass the sessions, relying only on their own knowledge, whereas those who prefer a varied rest experience difficulties in examinations and in work.
