Text J. Medical Education in the United States
In the USA the young man who has the secondary education1 must pass through seven or eight years of hard study before he begins his work as a doctor.
First he has three or four years of premedical training at a university. Here he learns the main sciences. Only those students who show good results in their premedical training can become candidates for higher medical education. Those who do not continue their education can work as nurses.
The higher medical education is difficult. The students must study four years in the medical faculty of the university. During the first two years the student masters laboratory sciences. To learn2 the structure of the human body the student studies anatomy. The student must get deep knowledge of biological chemistry because it is the basis for clinical laboratory diagnosis and therapy.
The student learns the functions of the body theoretically from books and by laboratory experiments in classes of Physiology.
In the USA the curriculum3 of medical faculties has such a subject as Psychology which teaches the student to deal with patients4 and understand human behaviour (поведение).
The student learns all other theoretical subjects such as Pharmacology and Pathological Physiology before he begins to treat a patient.
In his third and fourth years the student gets instruction and practical experience in the treatment and care of the patient. During these years the student has the possibility to work at the hospital and learn much of main medical procedures and different diseases to be well prepared for his work.
