In addition, the Faculty of Postgraduate Education and the Department of Training for Foreign Citizens function. Preventive dentistry is a specialty of secondary vocational education. Additional and postgraduate education can be obtained at the internship and residency, and doctoral and postgraduate studies are designed to train teachers in medicine of the highest qualification, all this is provided by the TSMA curriculum.
Conditions
For proper training of doctors at TSMU, faculties work according to programs that meet the educational standard of higher education. The educational process is conducted at 45 clinical and theoretical departments, plus one independent course. 390 teachers work here. Forty departments of the TSMA are headed by doctors of medical sciences.
Ten clinical disciplines are taught in the educational-medical (out-patient) and scientific-practical complexes of the Academy. Practical classes in many theoretical departments are held in their own museums. Surgeons also have their own operating room with laboratory animals.
Training sequence
Freshmen and sophomores study theoretical and biomedical disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, anatomy and physiology, histology, after which they begin to study the diseased organism and develop the disease in the departments of pathological physiology and anatomy. At the same time, students are introduced to the mystery of examination and proper communication with patients - since the third year, training has been going on for the most part in clinical departments. Surgery, therapy, obstetrics and gynecology are being studied.
In the following courses - senior - disciplines of a narrower profile appear - dermatology, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology, nervous and infectious diseases, psychiatry. In the sixth year, the results are summarized through state certification - a three-stage exam: test control, practical skills testing, then an oral interview and solving problems in situations. After that, qualified specialists are sent to an internship or residency to continue training in an already chosen specialty.
Faculty of Pediatrics
There are 44 departments at the faculty, of which four are specialized. The pedagogical team of specialized departments consists of 26 people, including four professors and 11 associate professors. 85 percent of teachers have advanced degrees. Throughout the faculty there are far more than 300 employees, 50 doctors and almost 200 candidates of medical sciences, three honored scientists of Russia, 11 honored doctors, four honored workers of the Higher School of the Russian Federation and many other honored people. Only corresponding members of the academies of sciences are more than ten.
Technically, the faculty is provided almost completely with computer equipment, and printers, and scanners, and multimedia projectors, as well as purely medical devices, such as ECGs and phantoms for resuscitation. Clinical bases for the faculty were all children's and adult medical institutions of the city. The personnel that the faculty prepares equip both the Tverskaya and all neighboring regions. Graduates work in the Kaluga, Bryansk, Pskov, Moscow regions.
Faculty of Pharmacy
A pharmacist is a specialist who is thoroughly versed in medicines, as well as in dosages for use and their composition. In the Russian Federation, a pharmacist is a specialist of the highest category, to whom consultants, pharmacists and other pharmacy employees report. Today, a pharmacist is a manager-pharmacologist: he is a leader, although he will be better able to prepare and dispense drugs better than many.
And in Europe it’s quite the opposite: there the pharmacist obeys and helps the pharmacist, who is usually not lower than the master. In Russia, pharmacists are trained in medical schools. Therefore, it is difficult for students of the Faculty of Pharmacy to study, like all doctors, and to confirm the level of education abroad will cost a huge effort, even if it is a TSMA diploma.
Chairs
Training takes place at the departments of clinical and theoretical. In total, their State Tver Medical Academy has 64. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has a course in this specialty at the Faculty of Postgraduate Education. Similarly, training is arranged at the departments of biochemistry, internal medicine, pediatric dentistry and some others. For anesthetists and resuscitators there is a department of intensive care.

Here students of the fifth and sixth year of the Faculty of Medicine are engaged. The provision of emergency care, if the patient's condition is life threatening, is studied with special attention.
To this end, the State Tver Medical Academy has created a training center at the Department of Extreme and Military Medicine.
