The objective is to analyze the effectiveness of postgraduate studies at the Department of Therapeutic Profile of the Medical University. Methods. An anonymous survey of 11 postgraduate students (6 men and 5 women) aged 26 to 35 years, who studied in the specialty of "internal diseases" and "cardiology" in the period from 2018 to 2024, was conducted. Results. All postgraduate students (100%) who completed their postgraduate studies successfully and on time passed the state final certification, defended their research and qualification work and dissertation. An increase in the level of knowledge for passing candidate exams was noted compared to the level of preparation at the time of admission to postgraduate study (from 8 [7; 9] to 9 [8; 9] points). The answer to the question "How interesting are you to engage in research activities" corresponded to 10 [9; 10], "How much do you rate your desire to engage in teaching activities" - 10 [9; 10] points. All postgraduate students voted for the desire to continue engaged in research activities after defending their dissertation. Difficulties with data collection were noted by 55%, with statistical data processing - 36%, with preparation of the "literature review" section - 27%, "material and research methods" - 18%, "own results" - 18% of postgraduate students. The demand for the skills and abilities acquired during postgraduate studies in practical activities was estimated at 9 [8; 10] points. When asked what needs to be improved during postgraduate studies, 63.64% of postgraduate students answered that nothing should be improved, 36.36% chose research training, 9.09% - theoretical training at the university. Conclusion.
