Translation of medical specialty

[John Dunn]

Changing the subject slightly, perhaps I could suggest that an alternative translation for санитарно-гигиенический факультет [sanitarno-gigienicheskij fakul'tet] might be Faculty/Department/School of Public Health.

Finally, I would note that Russian medical schools typically have up to 
five "факультеты" -- лечебный, педиатрический, санитарно-гигиенический, 
стоматологический, and фармацевтический. I would be inclined to render 
these as "School of Medicine," "School of Pediatrics," "School of 
Hygiene and Sanitation," "School of Dentistry," and "School of Pharmacy" 
(in a university context, some may prefer "College of..."). Then (При 
этом) a doctor whose degree says "лечебное дело" (as opposed, say, to 
"педиатрика") would be one who graduated from the "School of Medicine," 
which brings us back to the beginning of the discussion.
