Medical degree in three years: teaching medical students at McMaster University (Canada)

AbstractThe issue of teaching in Russian medical schools has become increasingly relevant since internship will be eliminated due to the new educational standards. Newly graduated physicians will be expected to work as general practitioners for at least three years before they become eligible for post-graduate training. Many are sceptic that the students will be sufficiently trained to be ready for independent work right after their graduation. It makes sense to look into the experience of other countries where the standards of teaching medical students are very high and could be used in collaboration in current Russian curriculum. One of the examples of such a system is a three year MD program at McMaster, Canada.
