Introduction
The goal of the studies in Experimental surgery is the training of the students for independent scientific as well as practical work in the field. The study will provide the doctorands with absolute knowledge of theoretical fields, cell biology, pharmacology, immunology, medical chemistry and biochemistry, physiology and pathology, basic laboratory technology as well as the latest laboratory technology in the field, and above all professional knowledge in the areas of children surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmology, orthopedics, otorhinolaryngology, plastic surgery, stomatology, and urology. The graduates will be capable to set the hypothesis for scientific work, choosing relevant methods for verification of the hypothesis, performing the practical tasks needed, scientifically evaluating and subsequently publishing the results in scientific journals with an impact factor, give talks and presentations at professional conferences, symposiums, and congresses. The graduates will have good prospects for careers in the surgical specialty, for achieving further scientific and educational grades, and participating in the independent development of the field.
The program is carried out without any specialization.

Career Opportunities
Graduates in Experimental surgery Postgraduate Doctor degree studies in Biomedical Sciences (Ph.D. programs) are usually physicians who have deep knowledge of theoretical disciplines and control the basic and the advanced laboratory techniques. The graduates should be able to build a hypothesis, select appropriate methods to test the scientific hypothesis, interpret the results of their work, publish in scientific journals (with impact factor), and present the result on scientific symposia and congresses. Graduates in the Ph.D. program in Experimental surgery have the excellent qualification to advance with his/her career in surgery and to achieve university degrees.
