Improving the effectiveness of counselling and clinical examination of patients in a family polyclinic

Abstract

To date, graduate students of medical universities are experiencing some difficulties in carrying out a compre- hensive clinical examination of patients with the interpre- tation of the data obtained and the differential diagnosis. At the end of the training, the graduate must have the skill of conducting a clinical examination of the patient with the definition and solution of his problems, including pre- ventive measures and medical examinations. In our opin- ion, in order to correct the above, it is necessary: to mod- ernize and systematize training in medical examination of patients both in a hospital and in a family polyclinic; to determine the specific goals and objectives of the actions performed by students when consulting patients in need of both the 1st, 2nd, and 4th categories of services; and to create criteria for evaluating students for the stages and levels of examination of patients.
