The University’s core mission is to provide a high-quality education for physicians and specialists serving to protect, preserve and advance the health of the nation. The University’s activity is closely linked with practical public healthcare including clinical bases in major urban hospitals, dispensaries and maternity homes, all featuring modern medical equipment. At these centers, future doctors gain hands-on clinical experience at these medical centers under the guidance of experienced academics.

Our clinical and research centers, as well as University’s scientific research institutions enable us to provide multi-level training of doctors and scientists in medicine and biomedicine, including programs for English-speaking students. Students have the unique opportunity to acquire hands-on knowledge of how real patients are diagnosed, treated, operated on, and monitored during recovery. Active participation in designing and carrying out therapy strategies for real patients at clinics under our senior professors' guidance is a distinctive competitive advantage of our University.

Our alumni can pursue a career not only in Russia, but also in numerous countries around the world, including the USA and EU countries.

Throughout our history, we have been developing new technologies for practical healthcare and actively working to introduce our innovations into clinical practice. Our students are involved in scientific research from an early stage of their studies, with many becoming leading specialists and directors of medical research institutes.

We strongly believe that professional skills, sense of responsibility and commitment to global welfare are just as vital as academic knowledge. Thus, we put an equal emphasis on developing all these qualities. The University Volunteer Center and the Blood Donation Movement have received commendations from the city and national authorities on numerous occasions. Since 2018, we have been coordinating volunteer initiatives across all higher medical schools in Russia. On top of that, we have introduced a system of tutoring and support for freshmen.

We are dedicated to continue our legacy as one of the leading medical universities in the country, providing excellent opportunities for education, research and medical care in Russia.
