- consolidation of practical skills acquired in the field of surgery in the third and fourth year of studies
- learning and practical application of the principles of planning diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in peripheral vascular surgery
- acquisition of basic practical skills needed in daily practice
with vascular patients according to the topics of seminars
- getting acquainted with clinical problems in the field of vascular surgery
- getting acquainted with the perspectives of development of modern vascular surgery techniques
