Residents are accepted on the basis of: university degree, completed internship, other (completed specialization or part of specialization). The residents that obtain the training post on national level or for a certain healthcare provider (e.g. Hospital) are paid fully by the state. The postgraduate medical training can also be self-funded if there are available training post.
The whole time during postgraduate medical training the resident has a main tutor, on wards and rotations he has trainers. After completing the programme, the resident must take national exam (part of that exam may be UEMS exam). After successfully completing the exam the doctor is awarded full physician’s licence for work in the field of speciality.
