Current problems of medical profession stem from several independent points. The development of biomedical sciences generates a numerous basic and applied discoveries, what opens a new insight into pathobiology of diseases. Biomedical faculties have been introducing molecular biology research programmes, in order to keep up with the contemporary demands of their scientific university position. Teaching university hospitals are specific in their performance, comprising simultaneously three activities: scientific research, teaching of biomedical courses and regular clinical work. All three activities are as equally important in achieving the status of teaching university hospital. Author stresses that some of the university hospitals have failed to make a proper functional organization between the emergency medicine and other hospital activities. Therefore, due to that they fail to meet the scientific standards and excellence of performance of the university teaching hospitals. Concerning the imminent programme of the six year study of medicine, author outlines the importance of the integrated, problem oriented teaching, which, he thinks, is more efficient in comparison to the traditional teaching of medicine. A short synopsis of basic discoveries in the various biomedical fields, as well as applied research relevant to the medical praxis are discussed at the end.
医学专业当前的问题源于几个独立的方面。生物医学科学的发展产生了众多基础和应用方面的发现，这为疾病的病理生物学带来了新的见解。生物医学系一直在引入分子生物学研究项目，以跟上其作为科研型大学的当代要求。教学型大学医院的运作具有特殊性，同时包含三项活动：科学研究、生物医学课程教学和常规临床工作。这三项活动对于实现教学型大学医院的地位同样重要。作者强调，一些大学医院未能在急诊医学与医院其他活动之间建立适当的功能组织。因此，它们未能达到大学教学医院的科学标准和卓越表现。关于即将开展的六年制医学学习项目，作者概述了综合的、以问题为导向的教学的重要性，他认为这种教学方式相较于传统医学教学更有效。最后讨论了各个生物医学领域的基础发现以及与医学实践相关的应用研究的简短概要。
