Training of specialists was carried out according to individual curricula developed on the basis of postgraduate training programs, in accordance with the qualification characteristics of specialists in the relevant specialties. Each student was assigned an individual consultant from among the leading teachers of the graduating departments, whose specialty coincided with the profile of the production direction of the intern. Knowledge and skills were monitored every six months during the training.
