[Ways of increasing the effectiveness of specialization in epidemiology].

The ways of increasing the efficiency of specialization in epidemiology on the 6th course are elucidated with an emphasis on a number of difficulties, both organizational and methodical, existing at present in this form of instruction. To achieve greater efficiency in the special training of graduates at sanitary and hygienic departments, it is necessary to improve the material base of the main institutions where the graduates are trained, to increase the share of theoretical knowledge (a tentative plan of lectures and practical work is proposed), and to improve the procedure of sending the graduates to work in their chosen field.
