Since the practical training in MU - Varna is an important part of the
general training course, the University has a rich educational base for
training both students and doctoral students and graduate physicians. The
training in the clinical medical disciplines is carried out in the five
hospital facilities, comprising a total area of 2 940 square meters and 1 696
hospital beds. At “St. Marina” University Hospital,
“St. Anna” University Hospital, “Prof. D. Stamatov” Specialized Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Varna, the Specialized Eye Hospital - Varna, the
Faculty of Dental Medicine, the Regional Health Inspection and Medical
College – Varna all the medical specialities are deployed and all the levels of
practical and theoretical training of students are covered with modern
high-tech diagnostic units, equipped both with conventional and unique
equipment.
“St. Marina” University Hospital - Varna is the largest diagnostic, therapeutic and
consultative hospital complex in the Northern and Eastern region, rendering
services to the population of the whole country. For the convenience of the
students the hospital has at its disposal several auditoria that enable the
future doctors to combine together the practical and theoretical activities.
During the breaks between the lectures and the exercises the students can use
the e-Library here – a part of the digitized and centralized library system of
the University. The hospital has some of the most modern and highly specialized
facilities and equipment in the country (gamma camera, Magnetic Resonance
Imaging, PET CT with a cyclotron, CT Dual-Source), allowing the availability of
various medical services and the application of advanced diagnostic and
therapeutic approaches. In the clinics the future doctors gain expertise and
experience from highly qualified specialists. The students, postgraduates and
doctoral students have the opportunity to participate in different
international symposia and seminars.
A Training Panel is implemented in the Intranet system of the University
Hospital, which provides additional learning opportunities for students,
trainees, postgraduates and doctoral students.
The classical models of training are skillfully combined with modern
technologies. For example, the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Embryology
has at its disposal one of the richest museum collections in the country, which
has been collected for more than 50 years, including 422 bone and organ
preparations - an invaluable resource for the students in the process of
learning the fundamental disciplines in medicine. Meanwhile, at any time by
means of the mobile technologies, the future physicians can have quick access
to various digital textbooks and materials to reinforce, practice, test and
evaluate the knowledge they have gained.
