PHARMACEUTICAL EDUCATION IN UKRAINE

In our country there is a wide network of institutions of higher medical education, which train pharmacists.

To enter a pharmaceutical faculty students take written entrance examinations in chemistry, biology, and Ukrainian. The course of study lasts for five years. During the first two years pharmacy students study general subjects, such as botany, physiology, general chemistry, physics, etc. During the third, fourth, and fifth years they have classes in special sciences, like pharmacology, pharmacognosy, pharmaceuti­cal chemistry, etc.

The students also have practical classes in laboratories, where they study physical and medical properties of medicines. Pharmaceutical students have practical training at chemist's shops, where they learn to work as pharmacists.

After graduation all pharmaceutical students have a period of in­ternship, which lasts for one year. Here they specialize in the follow­ing pharmaceutical specialties: "pharmacy", "clinical pharmacy", "technology of pharmaceutical preparations", and "technology of per­fumery and cosmetic preparations".

Today about eight thousand foreign students study medicine and pharmacy at higher medical educational establishments of Ukraine. It is half of all foreign students that study in our country. About one thou­sand and seven hundred applicants from abroad enter Ukrainian med­ical universities and academies each year. This is the evidence of a high standard of medical and pharmaceutical education in our country.

At higher medical institutions of Ukraine there is also postgraduate study as a form of training scientific and teaching specialists. Post­graduate education is not compulsory. The students study and write thesis to get the Master's Degree or the Candidate of Science De­gree.
