The article analyzes the results of the Unified State Qualification Examination (USQE) implementation in order to assess the pharmacy students’ education level during the Krok-1 licensed integrated examination and to compare these results with the national indicators.
Considering that for the first time in 2019 a new qualitative assessment method of students’ knowledge has been introduced in Ukraine, both Ukrainian and foreign third year pharmacy students have had the USQ examination at Dnipropetrovsk Medical Academy (DMA), which included two components: Krok-1 licensed integrated examination and professional English. The analysis of the obtained results has revealed some shortcomings of the student training program and drawn an attention to the solution to these problematic issues.
This comprehensive assessment of the pharmacy students’ profile knowledge allows us to identify the training programs’ shortcomings and provides an opportunity to increase the effectiveness of study at the academy in order to integrate Ukrainian specialists in the world medicine.
