Abstract
We present abstracts of MSc theses defended in 2008 at the Faculty of Medicine, University “Ss Kiril and Metodijâ€, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. English summaries are published as they are translated by authors and included in the final version of defended MSc. Macedonian Medical Master of Science (MSc) Theses are deposited in the Central Medical Library and National and University Library "St. Kliment Ohridski" in Skopje. Editorial Borad do not take any responsibility either for the content, nor the quality of the abstracts. At the Faculty of Medicine, 26 MSc theses were defended in 2008 and two of them have not been deposited in the Central Medical Library (7.7%), one from the Clinic for Anestesiology and one from the Institute of Medical and Experimental Physiology. Nine MSc theses are without abstarcts (34.6%) and 15 MSc theses are with abstracts (57.7%), from which only four are with structured abstracts (15.4%). We have to mention that primary responsibility for the quality of the MSc theses belongs to the mentors, to the institutions they are representing, and to the ViceDean of science. All of them should be more actively involved in the preparation of Master of Science theses in order international standards to be achieved.
