We would like to inform you that the date of the Unified State Qualification Exam (the USQE), Stage 1 for the students majoring in “Stomatology” will be moved to May 13, 2021. This decision was made because of quarantine restrictions put in place in response to the spread across the territory of Ukraine of COVID-19 acute respiratory disease caused by SARS-Cov-2. Currently, the “red” level of epidemiologic risk of COVID-19 spread is declared in the cities, where the majority of universities are located. The Testing Board has already informed the universities about the new date for the USQE, Stage 1 for the students majoring in “Stomatology” (letter № 372/01-25 dated April 22, 2021).

This decision was made because of quarantine restrictions put in place in response to the spread across the territory of Ukraine of COVID-19 acute respiratory disease caused by SARS-Cov-2.
