Research is a form of learning process, which harmoniously combines training and practice. Within Medicinal Research intern initially acquires skills in research, then begins to implement the theoretical knowledge acquired in the study somehow associated with the practice, and at the end of this process participates in scientific conferences at various levels, including international. The aim was to determine the particular structure of research work of interns in the department of postgraduate education of dentists in HSEI "UMSA." Materials and methods of research. 3 collections of scientific papers of the final scientific conferences of interns, masters and clinical residents, which were held at the academy from 2014 to 2016 academic years in an amount of 127 scientific papers have been analyzed. Number of undergraduates each year was about the same 5-7 people. Results. In the overall structure of interns’ research, we singled out the following main activities: experimental, clinical laboratory, informative and sanitary education. The analysis of the structure of interns’ research works, thus the largest share of the experimental work, was conducted in 2014 and amounted to 4.4% of the total. The largest number of works that were devoted to clinical and laboratory research also were observed in 2014 and amounted to 68.8%. Least of all in 2014 was the number of sanitary and educational work, 2.2% of all work. In 2015 there was one pilot study which amounted to 2.9%. However, there was increase in the number of clinical labs and clinical cases. Number of clinical cases increased to 17.5%. Entrenched differences in health information and educational work were observed. Number of graduate work in 2014 and 2015 was at the same level and amounted to 31% of the total work. The structure of graduate work during these years was dominated by clinical and laboratory work (64% in 2014 and 69% in 2015) and the lowest number in the structure of experimental studies (7.1% in 2014 and 7.7% in 2015). In 2016 the downward trend in experimental work survived. The number of interns working with clinical cases was 20.8% and with information messages was 30.8%. The largest increase was observed in the number of sanitary and educational work (to 10.5%). Number of undergraduate studies decreased to 20%. The works of postgraduates contained 87.5% of clinical and laboratory research. Conclusion. Recent years have seen changes in the structure of interns’ research towards reducing the share of experimental research and increasing the share of research that do not require the involvement of laboratory equipment and technical resources. The increase in the number of sanitary and educational work was noted.
