4. Read the text about studying medicine:

Becoming a doctor is a dream for millions of students around the world. Studying medicine can lead to a career as a doctor of course, but it doesn't have to be this cut and dry. Many graduates of medical studies programs at top universities around the world pursue careers as specialist consultants in the field of psychiatry, dermatology, sports medicine and others.

A medical university is a post-secondary higher educational institution. Medical universities teach subjects such as human anatomy, biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, anesthesiology, internal medicine, family medicine, surgery, psychiatry, genetics, and pathology. Medical students typically engage in both basic science and practical clinical coursework during their tenure at a medical school. The course structure and length vary greatly among countries. Traditionally the course structure is divided into pre-clinical (year 1-3) and clinical part (year 3-6): the pre-clinical part of medical education includes theoretical learning in areas such as anatomy, physiology, ethics, psychology and biochemistry, the clinical one includes learning surgery, obstetrics and paediatrics.

During their course of studies medical students attend lectures and have practical classes in different subjects. They perform different laboratory works and attend the dissecting room to gain deep knowledge of Anatomy. They go to the library to get ready for their classes.

Each academic year is usually divided into two terms. At the end of each term students have to take their module controls in most subjects.

Studying at a medical university is often hard, but people choosing medicine for their future career should understand that it is necessary to study hard to become good specialists able to save human lives.

Around the world – у всьому світі

Lead to – привести до

Divide into – поділити на

Classes in different subjects – заняття з різних дісциплін

Get ready for – підготуватися до
