Medicine Without Borders

This year, students from Latvia, Belarus and Russia arrived at the city's Medical College to demonstrate their 'General Medicine' skills. Our team was from the Medical College of the Medical Institute. Our colleague Tamara Bakhristova joined the jury. The students were put through their paces on their ability to carry out prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases. They were tested on their knowledge of the theory, but the focus of the jury was on solving clinical problems and a demonstration of their practical skills. The hosts won the competition, with our team second. Polotsk Medical College from Belarus, came in third.
