[Experience in training of general practitioners]

The pedagogical experiment indicated that the effective training of general practitioners could be realized through the system of intern and resident training which made it necessary to prolong the term of study up to 12 weeks for interns in the out-patient departments and up to 4 months for resident physicians. The retraining of district therapists enabling them to work as general practitioners could be successfully effected at the departments of advanced medical training in the course of 5 months.
