Regulations for Admission of Foreign Citizens to Clinical Residency
Clinical residency is a form of professional training of doctors based on the principle of individual education with the aim of deepening professional knowledge and improving practical skills as well as mastering advanced medical technologies.
Guidance for the training of clinical residents is carried out by experienced staff of the BSMU departments. All supervisors have PhD degrees such as doctor of medical sciences or candidate of medical sciences.
