It indicates to the importance of expansion of test-questionnaires as well as their complication by 8.8%-9.4%. Specialists with low, average and good progress in studies showed almost the same scores (75-80%). All together it makes 26% of those who did not pass the examination. According to subjects, most specialists make mistakes in general microbiology, especially in morphology and physiology of microbes, practical skills, there are a lot of mistakes in special microbiology, especially in diagnostics of infections caused by anaerobes and hemofil.
