Update regarding the Orenburg application:

MVZ has contacted the Orenburg Eye Complex to check regarding their residency programme:

“Please, be advised that our clinic acts like a platform for residents from ophthalmological department of Orenburg state medical university (local medical university) and from our head office (located in Moscow), which means that we actually train residents, but do not sign any papers directly with them. Sign any papers mean: that the contract is signed by the resident on the one part and by either our head office or Orenburg medical university on the other part, but the training itself takes place in our clinic.”
