From 31th of May till 4^th of July 2016 we had an opportunity to complete an internship in Novosibirsk, Municipal Hospital №1 and Municipal Children Hospital №1.

Municipal hospital №1 is one of the biggest specialized medical institution in the city? which was founded in 1930. It has 72 departments: oncological (urology, thoracic surgery, tumors of head and neck), radiological, surgery, urgent surgery, trauma department, 3 anesthesiology and resuscitation units, regional vascular center, blood transfusion department and many others.

We practiced our skills as physicians in 4 areas: surgery, therapy, obstetrics and pediatrics. At surgery, we mostly worked in urological, ophthalmological, otorhinolaryngological departments. During this practice, we improved our technics, assisted operations such as nephrectomy, prostatectomy, and cataract deletion.

Training in obstetrics was held in departments of pathology of pregnancy, maternity and post-natal units. Here we also assisted in all physical procedures and investigations.

Therapy cycle we attended in cardiologic unit, which consists in regional vascular center and is specialized on myocardial infarction. We took part in medical investigations, carried six-minute walk test out in patients with CAD.
