[Improvement in the program and methods of conducting an internship in occupational hygiene]

The authors describe their experience gained with conducting internship training in occupational hygiene for graduating students of medical and prophylaxis departments of medical colleges. Special attention is called to the matter of learning by those engaged in internship studies of practical skills of work of a physician-occupational hygienist relating, in particular, to exercising sanitary inspection, both preventive and running, in industrial settings. Measures were proposed to improve the programme and curriculum to be guided by in conducting the above internship training.
