Among the educational institutions of the city of Angarsk, in the Irkutsk region, there is an institution of secondary special profile that trains future doctors. This is Angarsk College of Medicine. About the history of its creation, about directions, about reviews of this university, read in the material below.
Angarsk College of Medicine: History
The Angarsk secondary specialized school, which graduates newly made Hippocrates, is already nearly sixty years old - only a couple of years is missing before the full anniversary. College doors opened for studiosus for the first time in 1960. True, then it was not a college yet - but a school. The educational institution has changed its status recently - just five years ago.
The first graduates left the walls of the Angarsk Medical University three years after the start of training, that is, in 1963. There were fifty-five of them, these discoverers. And over the past sixty years, more than seven thousand paramedics, obstetricians, laboratory assistants, nurses and nurses have left the former school.
Currently
Today, the Angarsk College of Medicine (in the photo below - students in one of the classrooms) is one of the most popular educational institutions of the city on the Angara. It has everything that is required for a full and comfortable mastery of knowledge in modern conditions: a library with a reading room equipped with equipment and a large assortment of books; Audiences full of multimedia facilities - both small and large, in-line; there are special classrooms for practicing skills - they are called “preclinical practice”, students train in such classes ... no, not on cats, but on dummies and “mummies”. For a long time, close cooperation has been established with both public hospitals and private clinics of the city - future Hippocrates can undergo practice there, then internships - and then they are free to come to the same organization to work as a young specialist.
The college hosts many extracurricular activities - for example, initiation into students or professional excellence contests. And Angarsk Medical is famous for the fact that, in addition to training future specialists, they conduct advanced training courses and professional retraining. At the same time, there are absolutely no age restrictions.
Leadership and educators
For nearly eleven years, the Angarsk College of Medicine has been headed by a hygienist and part-time epidemiologist Irina Zaenets. The only medical institution in the city is in good hands - Irina Vladimirovna is a very experienced physician and leader, and she is also a teacher of the highest category. Before becoming a director, she had already worked for a long time in the Angarsk Medical - the total experience of her work there today is as much as twenty-eight years. Irina Vladimirovna spent most of them as deputy director for educational work.
By the way, about teachers and their categories. Almost all college teachers have the first or highest category, with the second go units. A decent portion of the teachers, about thirty percent, are former students of the institution itself. Among the former teachers of the Angarsk Medical there are many famous names. So, at one time the writer Inna Leiderman, who survived the horrors of the war, worked here - she was a therapist, she headed the department in the hospital. The famous surgeon Vladimir Kobetsky also worked in college, he is the "father" for several generations of surgeons. And Lyudmila Prusskaya (although she is not a doctor, but a philologist, taught Russian in college with literature) is known to all graduates and students because she worked in one place “from and to” - she came to the Angarsky Medical from the student bench, and left retired a few years ago.
Specialty
That during the opening years, that now in the Angarsk College of Medicine there are a number of areas in which you can get an education. There are generally four of them, but in recent years only two have been recruited - this is nursing and medical care (there were also obstetric care and laboratory diagnostics). We will tell you more about each of them.
Nursing
Anyone who studies in this specialty will have the profession of a nurse or a nurse. You can enter here after the ninth and after the eleventh grade. It will take almost three years to study - to be more precise, two years and ten months - if the applicant came after the eleventh; if the child graduated from only nine classes, then he will have to spend one more year in college.
Probably no need to explain who the nurse is. As a rule, there are fewer nurses - for some reason, it is generally accepted that this profession is more suitable for girls than for boys. This, of course, is a fallacy. The range of activities of a nurse / nurse is extremely wide. In a sense, this person is an assistant to the doctor, his assistant, following the orders and appointments of the doctor. But the nurse’s tasks do not end there. As for where you can work for a person with such an education, the choice is simply huge - from private or municipal clinics and hospitals to schools, kindergartens and sanatoriums.
Medical business
Only eleventh graders can enter this specialty. You need to study here for three years and ten months, at the exit you can get the specialty of a paramedic. Who is the paramedic? This is almost the same as a doctor - only in rural areas. A paramedic cannot be a full-fledged doctor due to a lack of education, but he has more than one more skill than a nurse or nurse. By and large, this is a doctor’s assistant, his right hand. And paramedics are ambulance workers.
To study at the Angarsk College of Medicine in any specialty must be full-time.
How to proceed
To enter the Angarsk College of Medicine, you need to bring an application and the following documents to the admissions committee from mid-June to mid-August (but the sooner the better): 4 photographs, a medical certificate, an education certificate (plus a copy) and a document, identity card (also with copy). If the applicant is a citizen of another country or does not have citizenship at all and lives abroad, he must additionally provide a translation of his education documents (notarized). A medical certificate can be obtained at the clinic, it is issued by the therapist after passing a number of doctors who must conclude that the person is healthy and can be trained in this institution.
In addition, the applicant will have to pass an entrance test - write a psychological test. This is done immediately upon submission of documents. As practice shows, the test does not present this difficulty; there are no those who cannot cope with it. Based on the results of the average mark of the certificate of education, as well as the test results, the general result of the potential student is formed and it becomes clear whether the person will go to the budget or for a fee. Important: when creating lists for admission, the personal presence of the applicant is required.
