To study, to study and to study again - that is how Vladimir Ilyich Lenin bequeathed. And those people who want to receive a medical education in absentia are worthy of praise. But here there are a number of its nuances and aspects that must be taken into account by every person who decided to go along such a path.
Specialties where correspondence courses are possible
Medical higher education (and secondary) should be of high quality, because it is of great importance for human health. Therefore, there are a number of limitations. So, a person who wants to become a doctor has only one option - full-time study at a university where they teach not only theory but also practice. And these requirements are not surprising - because who wants to be handled by a surgeon, therapist, cardiologist or dentist who have only theoretical training? Therefore, there are few specialties in which you can get a medical education in absentia. This is speaking about the first education. But
continuing education at a distance is quite possible.
Secondary medical education is also possible. In absentia, you can get enough skills to carry out successful activities. This was a general outline of the situation, and now let's pay attention to it in more detail.
Secondary education
The most popular are "nursing" and "medical optician." You can spend a little more than 2 years of study in the second specialty. After that, a person gets the qualification of “medical optician”. About the first specialty, we can say that it will take 4.5 years to receive it in the
correspondence form of training . As a result, a person will receive the specialty of a nurse or a nurse. To those who enter the correspondence department, they do not put forward so strict requirements as to full-time students.
Important for admission is knowledge of biology, the Russian language and chemistry. Choosing what kind of education to get, people often are not interested in the profitability of their profession, but want it to be easy to learn and work. Therefore, they pay attention to higher medical education. But what about the situation here?
Higher education
If you want to get the specialty “General Medicine” - forget about it right away. Here only full-time study (full-time or evening). Becoming a doctor or paramedic, without practice, will not work. But it is not all that bad. There is a specialty that requires a good knowledge of theory (better than practice) and is not related to intervention in the human body (directly) - pharmaceuticals. Despite the fact that pharmacies do not create drugs on their own right now, such a specialist is required to have sufficient knowledge about the human body, the processes that take place in it, and it should also be oriented in chemistry and biology.
Where and for how much do they receive medical education in absentia?
This is possible in all universities and colleges. Thanks to the development of new educational methods, the training process can also take place remotely. But it must be remembered that if you have the specialty "medical business", it means that only professional development is offered for general or thematic improvement. But if there is already an education of a nurse or nurse, then a person in absentia can expand his knowledge and receive training in preventive and primary medical care for the population, in obstetric care.
The cost of such training is relatively low. But if you are interested in the higher education of a pharmacist, then you will have to pay from 70 thousand rubles per year. The most popular are Moscow State University and Moscow State Medical University. I.M.Sechenova.
What is required of the student?
If there is a desire to receive a correspondence medical education, then it should be understood that in this case a high level of self-organization and responsibility is required from a person. This is due to the fact that a significant amount of knowledge by students is obtained independently. The sources are educational literature: books, scientific journals, encyclopedias, and so on. That is, success largely depends on how a person knows how to assemble and focus. After all, the better the information is acquired, the more effectively it will be applied. At the same time, the presence of practice has a positive effect on the result of studies.
You can start with the position of the junior medical staff, getting a job as a laboratory assistant in the nearest hospital. In this case, learning will be easier. If you want to become a doctor, this will not affect the higher medical education (in absentia), except for the opportunity to consult specialists about specific issues. But in such cases, you can gain knowledge by assimilating new information in the process of doing work.
Medical courses
The standard questions of a person who wants to graduate have already been considered. But extramural medical education also has options such as courses. They were previously mentioned exclusively in passing. So let's fix it. Problems with the choice of
educational institution should not be. If you are interested in a medical diagnostic specialty, then getting an education will not be difficult.
There are numerous ratings compiled according to different criteria and allowing to evaluate the significance of the stated knowledge. There is already a choice for a person - it is necessary to determine what is important for him, and based on his preferences to submit documents to a particular university. More freely, the situation is with continuing education. Here, distance learning can be completed in almost all areas of medicine. In this case, during the educational process, it is based on the intensive work of a specialist, which is very strictly controlled.
Moreover, the availability of special training aids is important. As such, information digital media, various manuals, guidelines and textbooks are used. Important is the construction of a general training course. Therefore, there is a widespread use of modern technologies (for example, the Internet), within the framework of which they agree on the methods of communication used between the student and his mentor. This is done so that the main issues can be resolved quickly and efficiently, and also improves the final result through the use of feedback.
Features
When training pursues different goals, then the preparation time and price differ. So, the cheapest and shortest is continuing education. Then comes the primary specialization. Moreover, in this case it would be better to say "steps on the heels." Then comes the specialization. And closes, due to its duration and cost, professional retraining. Also, some requirements are put forward to the technical support of the student. So, he needs to have a computer, uninterrupted Internet access and it is very desirable to have skype and a webcam.
An important advantage and feature is the availability of educational information systems through which students can familiarize themselves with the curriculum, schedule, and remotely access the contents of the electronic library.
Conclusions
What are the benefits of getting distance medical education? First of all, this is a flexible curriculum development schedule. Also, there is a whole series of expenses (for a dormitory or a trip to the university), both monetary and temporary. Also, before paying for educational services, it will not be superfluous to inquire about the availability of a license to provide them and verify the information received.
