They observed clinical cases, actively participated in the treatment of patients, and conducted clinical research under the close supervision of experienced doctors. Particular attention was paid to mastering the latest approaches to diagnosing and treating various pathologies, which significantly improved their professional competence.

The researchers had the opportunity to study and analyze in detail numerous clinical cases that were directly related to the topics of their dissertations. This helped them to better understand the theoretical aspects as well as to apply the knowledge gained in practice, which is extremely important for researchers and practitioners.

It allowed them to gain invaluable experience, develop the necessary skills, and acquire new knowledge that will become the foundation for further research and practice.
