A session was held to strengthen and assess practical skills on “Preparation, staining, and microscopy of smears,” which provides future doctors with the opportunity to prepare smears, demonstrating theoretical and practical skills at the pre-analytical stage. Practical competencies were assessed according to the previously established working procedures and evaluation criteria. The introduction of such stations into the educational process allows the development of practical skills for students in pathological anatomy, cell biology, and clinical cytopathology. The session was prepared and conducted by PhD, Professor I․ A․ Soghakyan.
