The main mission of the University is to train doctors, specialists whose duty is to protect, preserve and multiply the health of the nation. The University is closely linked to practical public health. It has bases in major urban hospitals, dispensaries and maternity homes. They are all equipped with modern medical equipment. Future doctors get hands-on clinical experience at these medical centers under the guidance of experienced teachers.
Our clinical and research centers and scientific research institutions allow us to provide multi-level training of doctors and scientists in the field of medicine and biomedicine, including training of English speaking students. Any one will have а unique opportunity to acquire hands on knowledge of how real patients are diagnosed, treated, operated and how they recover. Active participation in design and carrying out of therapy strategies for real patients at clinics under guidance of our senior professors is one of our distinctive competitive advantages.
Our alumni works not only in Russia, but also in numerous countries of the world including USA and countries of European Union.
All the years of existence, we develop new technologies for practical health care. We are actively working to introduce our innovations into clinical practice. Our students are early involved in scientific work. Many grow into leading specialists and directors of medical research institutes.
We believe that not only knowledge is important for future doctors. We pay a lot of attention to the development of professional skills, responsibility and non-indifference. The University Volunteer Center and the blood donation movement have repeatedly received commendations from the city and country authorities. Since 2108, we have been coordinating the work of the volunteer movement in all higher medical schools in Russia. In addition, we have introduced a system of tutoring and support for freshmen.
We will continue to be one of the leading medical universities in the country, providing excellent opportunities for education, research and medical care in Russia.
The University is actively involved in the development of a system of continuing professional education and the accreditation of specialists to medical activities.
We also pay great attention to pre-university training and the search for talented applicants. For schoolchildren, we offer a variety of activities, including a summer school in medicine, a weekly lecture hall, master classes and preparatory courses in Russian and English.
Since 1959, we have been accepting international students. Since 2013, we have been offering university programs in English, as well as double degree programs with European universities.
The University organizes its academic affairs in 115 academic chairs, which are divided into eight faculties. More than 2000 teachers offer lectures, seminars and practical laboratory classes in the natural, humanitarian and medical sciences in more than 250 courses.
We are actively engaged in research and implementation of our developments in clinical practice. In 2010, we – the only among medical educational centers – received the status of a National Research University.
