Since the first year of education in Kirov SMU, students must do the practical training in hospitals to gain professional experience in the medical sphere. 

     Initially, students get acquainted with the healthcare system of Russia and the way hospitals work here. In the next practical trainings, students obtain new practical skills at different positions of the medical staff. During practical training, students fill out journals in which they describe all the manipulations they perform, write reports, conduct educational work with patients in the hospitals.
