[Analysis of training pathologists on the basis of an educational-research-practicum complex]

The experience of the work of the educational-research-practical association (chair of pathology-pathologo-anatomical bureau) is analyzed. It is believed that organization of such complexes aimed at integration of educational, scientific and practical activity is one of the most effective ways of reorganization of the system of higher medical education and health service. Working within the complex permits a rapid improvement in the quality of education, effectiveness of scientific work and practical activity in pathological anatomy. A conclusion is made that one of the priorities of reorganization of the system of health care is realization of the principle of centralized management and technical supply of these complexes.
