Abstract

Introduction. The system of licensing integrated examinations is a complex of means for standardized diagnostics of the level of students’ professional competence. Purpose of the paper was to study and to improve the effectiveness of training the graduates of medical faculty-Indian citizens to licensing integrated exams «Krok 2. Medicine» and MCI.

Material and methods.  We analized the monthly results of control tasks according to the variants for preparation for the LII and the results of the LII «Krok 2. Medicine» and MCI in 49 students-citizens of India, BSMU graduates.

Results: The probable positive relationship between the results of all monthly diagnostic-training tests and the license integrated examination «Krok 2. Medicine» has been found (r = 0,45-0,51, p<0.05).  The average percentage of correct responses on the «Krok 2. Medicine» examination among the above cohort of students was 88,0±0,7% in the absence of unsatisfactory results. At the same time, the results of any of the monthly analytical control tests in preparation for the MCI examination did not reliably correlate with the results of this examination passed by the graduates. There is also no clear relationship between the results of the «Krok 2. Medicine» integrated exam and the Medical Council of India exam.

Conclusion: The final results of the «Krok 2. Medicine» and MCI examinations obtained by Indian students from the BSMU are indicative of a high efficiency of the remote form of self-training, and the above mentioned relationships indicate a different format for the final tasks of the licensing integrated exams «Krok 2. Medicine» and MCI.
