Belarus Medical Specialist Attestation · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 7 hours per week

Week 1

Legislation and normative regulation of healthcare in the Republic of Belarus & Organization of healthcare delivery and medical records management

  • Compare the rights and duties of the attending physician versus the head of department in the referral and hospitalization process

Your checkpoint

A two-page legal-and-records cheat sheet (statute to obligation to record field) self-tested to 90% recall

Week 2

Internal medicine (therapy)

  • Build a differential-diagnosis algorithm for the five most common internal-medicine presentations (chest pain, dyspnea, edema, fever of unknown origin, abdominal pain)

  • Derive first-line diagnostic and treatment plans for hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and community-acquired pneumonia per current standards

  • Interpret a full blood count, biochemistry panel, and urinalysis and list the next test each abnormality triggers

  • Rehearse management of acute coronary syndrome and decompensated heart failure in timed case vignettes

Your checkpoint

Ten solved internal-medicine case vignettes with written differentials and management steps, scored against a self-made rubric

Week 3

Surgery

  • Classify acute abdomen causes and justify the operative versus conservative decision for each

  • Sequence the management of trauma according to the primary survey and name the immediate life-saving intervention at each step

  • Outline perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis and venous thromboembolism prevention protocols

  • Distinguish the clinical signs and initial management of the major surgical emergencies (appendicitis, perforation, obstruction, strangulated hernia)

  • Explain wound classification and the criteria for primary versus delayed closure

  • Select and justify airway management and sedation depth for three representative scenarios

  • Map notifiable infectious diseases to their isolation and contact-tracing requirements

  • Explain the national immunoprophylaxis schedule and the rules for post-exposure prophylaxis

  • Distinguish the clinical and epidemiologic features of the major airborne, enteric, and bloodborne infections

Your checkpoint

A resuscitation algorithm sheet plus a notifiable-disease and prophylaxis table, both recalled cold in a timed drill

Week 6

Diagnostic imaging, functional and laboratory diagnostics & Medical rehabilitation and balneology

  • Interpret the core chest radiograph, abdominal ultrasound, and CT patterns and match each to a likely diagnosis

  • Read an ECG and classify the rhythm, rate, and key ischemic or conduction abnormality

  • Select the correct laboratory test and interpret its reference range for ten common clinical questions

  • Design a phased rehabilitation plan for post-stroke and post-myocardial-infarction patients
