The experience gained by the Lvov City Clinical Hospital for Emergencies evidences the usefulness of participation of the workers of clinical diagnosis chairs in practical diagnostic and therapeutic work, for it considerably reduces the number of diagnostic errors. The authors consider such cooperation between practicing physicians and laboratory workers (many of them are not physicians) very useful and recommend to change the system of training in laboratory diagnosis at specialized and advanced training courses so that the number of physicians working at clinical diagnosis laboratories be increased.

The pedagogical experiment indicated that the effective training of general practitioners could be realized through the system of intern and resident training which made it necessary to prolong the term of study up to 12 weeks for interns in the out-patient departments and up to 4 months for resident physicians. The retraining of district therapists enabling them to work as general practitioners could be successfully effected at the departments of advanced medical training in the course of 5 months.
