Education – The Path to Excellence

 

A wise person is not one who knows a lot,
but one who knows what is necessary.

 

At the Private Establishment of Higher Education “Kharkiv Institute of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences”, we develop the ability to solve complex problems in medicine and healthcare. 

TEACHING AND LEARNING: We focus on competency-based, student-centered, problem-oriented learning, fostering self-initiative and professional-oriented practical training. Students have the opportunity to create an individual educational trajectory.

Forms of Learning: Lectures, seminars, and academic conferences, practical and laboratory sessions in small groups, practice sessions, and consultations with instructors.

Methods, Techniques, Technologies: Diagnostic methods including anamnesis, clinical, laboratory, radiological, and functional diagnostics according to medical care protocols; technologies for diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases, as well as managing and organizing healthcare work; basics of scientific research.

ASSESSMENT: Both ongoing and final assessments.

Forms of Final Assessment: Credit tests, differentiated credit tests, exams, certification in the form of a unified state qualification exam, including OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination).

In the assessment process, adherence to objectivity, systematicity, consistency, transparency, and accessibility of the evaluation methodology is mandatory.

Student achievements are evaluated using a 4-point scale, a 200-point scale, and the ECTS rating scale.
