ENT or Laryngootorhinology in Russian is a pretty difficult subject to go through. For 2 weeks, you will learn the methods of examining a patient, the diseases and treatment. And oh, don’t forget lectures.
The ENT department is pretty strict. If you miss a class, you will have to otrabotka in the Priemnoyeh Otdeleniyeh (Consultation) for 5 hours to get a slip to prove that you’ve done it.
Exam, on the other hand, is pretty straightforward. It consists of 2 questions regarding any disease, one situational question and one recipe. I’ll tell you what you need to know to pass.
- Study. If you can’t get past the oral part, you won’t pass. The department is very strict and it’s a lottery, basically. If you get the Head of the Department, I wish you all the best.
- Know the recipes, how to write and what it’s for. If you get the HOD Professor, he might ask you to write an additional recipe in front of him. If not, you may refer to notes when preparing your answers.
- Practice your examination with your friends. You have to pass the practical section before proceeding. In each examination of the ear, nose and throat, you will need to know what structures you can see, respectively.
As I said, the cycle is 2 weeks and the exam is directly after the cycle ends. Or, you may choose to do it on the exam day.
Happy studying!
