Novosibirsk State Medical University

[EduCativ]

In 2010 the Novosibirsk State Medical University (NSMU) celebrated its 75th anniversary! The university's history is closely related to the history of public health services in Novosibirsk city, in southwestern Siberia, and, perhaps, in the entire country. Seventy-five years in the business means a rich history. Through all those years, the NSMU has been fulfilling one mission: teaching to heal people. The university has been teaching young men and women to understand a medical doctor's professional duty to serve people and devote oneself to this service. Teaching to heal is much more complicated than teaching any other profession in the world. Many generations of brilliant doctors and scientists have graduated from NSMU over the years. Academicians, professors, leaders of numerous medical institutions are among our graduates. In 75 years, over 32 thousand doctors graduated from the university. Year after year, young doctors graduate into jobs in public health and medical research.
The people who worked and studied at the NSMU over the years are the NSMU history. People indeed make history, and the living proof of this is the 75 NSMU graduates included in the list of NSMU Human Treasures. Their lives interlaced with the history of Novosibirsk, and Russia demonstrate how one person can make a difference. By giving their knowledge, skills, and souls to the profession and society, these people imprinted their names in the history of NSMU.
NSMU is proud of all the fantastic people working here and contributing to medicine in Novosibirsk and Russia, and the entire world. The NSMU leaders today are established doctors who also work at the city clinics and hospitals. Looking into the Novosibirsk State Medical University's future, we can say with certainty that the university will continue its growth as it always has. Seventy-five years ago, the NSMU had only one faculty. Today we have eight faculties, but this is not our limit. Public health care institutions need doctors, accountants, lawyers, public health care specialists. We will continue to grow by breaking stereotypes, modernizing the education process, setting high standards for teachers, and providing society with exceptionally well-trained specialists in public health care.
Novosibirsk State Medical University is closely connected to reasonable health care. The health education process at NSMU involves university academic staff and students' engagement in providing health care at clinics and medical offices in Novosibirsk. Teaching staff, interns, residents, graduate, and postgraduate students assist in operations, examine and treat patients, and provide emergency help. The Novosibirsk State Medical University is now among the top medical universities in Russia. It has great history and traditions, highly professional academic staff. It is a prestigious and constantly developing institution of higher education. Today almost 5 000 students are studying at the Novosibirsk State Medical University (among them are more than 200 international students from all over the world).
The Novosibirsk State Medical University offers international exchange programs for students and academic staff (Erasmus Mundus, DAAD). NSMU students study at the universities overseas, and exchange international students study at NSMU. The university also offers international academic staff opportunities to teach at NSMU, attend academic seminars, conferences, and masterclasses. In exchange, NSMU teaching staff can also attend international meetings, consult and teach classes at medical centers and universities in the USA, Asia, and Europe.
