DESCRIPTION

The mission of the Specialist’s degree programme is to provide high-quality professional training in accordance with the level of development of medical equipment and technologies in the field of medical cybernetics. The aim of the professional training is to help graduates meet their professional goals of gaining professional competencies and successfully working in the professional field related to medical cybernetics. On successful completion of the Specialist’s degree programme, graduates are able to perform such professional tasks as treatment, system analysis, scientific research and practice, operations with information and technology, project activity, and others. Programme graduates are engaged in conducting research activity to solve fundamental and applied tasks for maintaining population health, providing measure for preventing diseases, diagnosing and treating them, as well as obtaining and analysing medical and biomedical data of various types and introducing software and artificial intelligence to the biomedical field.

AIMS

research activity:
•    conducting scientific research activity to solve fundamental and applied tasks in order to maintain health, provide preventive measures, diagnostics and treatment of diseases.

treatment activity:
•    planning clinical research, introducing research outcomes into practice with the use of methods of mathematical statistics and evidence-based medicine;
•    collecting and conducting medical and statistical analysis of information on the health indices of population of various age and gender groups that characterise their health state;
•    diagnosing diseases and pathological conditions of patients.

research and practical activity:
•    obtaining and analysing biomedical data, modelling biological processes and systems with the help of bioinformation and information and communication technologies.

system analytical activity:
•    conducting system analysis of research objects in medicine and healthcare;
•    working with medical data of various types, introducing artificial intelligence;
•    implementing management based on medical data.

information technology activity:
•    developing, analysing and supporting software and applications in the biomedical field.

project activity:
•    developing algorithms and planning information analysis systems to support healthcare management decisions.

organisation and management activity:
•    organising professional activities of medical staff in medical organisations, defining functional duties and optimal algorithm of their implementation.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

On successful completion of the clinical residency programme the graduates should be able to:
•    provide emergency medical aid, assess the results of laboratory, instrumental and other research to identify a condition or to establish the fact of the presence or absence of a disease;
•    keep statistical records in a medical organisation;
•    plan clinical research;
•    solve system and analytical tasks in the field of medicine and healthcare;
•    work with medical data of various types, introduce artificial intelligence, and make clinical and management decisions;
•    provide information and technology support in the field of medicine and healthcare;
•    organise and implement applied and practical projects in the field of biomedical research;
•    organise and conduct scientific research in medicine and healthcare;
•    obtain and analyse biomedical data, model biological processes with the help of information technologies, and introduce the research results into practice.

EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

On successful completion of the Specialist’s degree programme the graduates are able to work in medical diagnostic and healthcare organisations (hospitals, in-patient clinics, healthcare centres), in medical and biological research centres, in laboratories and institutes that are related to the use of medical equipment and conducting biomedical experiments, in territorial and regional commercial healthcare structures, and others.
