in order not to chase people after envelopes and stamps, you need to sell them at the admissions office, photocopy documents also at the admissions office - these will be paid services. You also need to learn the culture of dealing with visiting applicants, dear gentlemen, employees of the Smolensk Medical Academy!

Dear applicants, do not go to this terrible place.. Here you will be subjected to cruel torture and extracted non-existent knowledge, because the not at all respected, insolent professors and associate professors only need money from you, and, unfortunately, they are not interested in your mental abilities ..they are busy counting their meager salaries..Shame and shame on everything that concerns medicine..Teachers do not pass on valuable clinical experience to students, but force them to sit their pants aimlessly. There is no clinical base as such; training takes place “on the fingers”, and not on modern equipment. You can forget about polite, respectful attitude and understanding. And Hindu and Caucasian students brazenly and unceremoniously pester our girls...

Such a well-known university, with a rich history, outstanding teaching staff, and not scientific staff and security - cattle! What was most striking was the head of hostel No. 1, Abramova Elena Aleksandrovna - in a conversation with the students’ relatives she screams, is rude, does not look for solutions to pressing issues and problems, but creates them herself. Following her example, all other employees do not consider us people. For her, students are enemies, whom she does not teach, only looking for a reason for punishment - eviction or scamming them out of money. How can such an employee work with children! Moreover, her appearance is far from pedagogical (leopard print blouse with a deep neckline, “night” makeup). For whom is she creating such a vulgar image?!

Smolensk Medical Academy is a cult place. If you are a zombie at heart, then this is your educational institution, I entered this year, I wanted to go to the Faculty of Medicine, but they immediately offered (hinting that there was no chance) for pediatrics, the competition makes me shudder. To be honest, these faculties are the same, only there are more girls. The group consists of 23 people and is divided in half at almost every seminar. And from the moment I entered, a sleepless life began, anatomy was replaced by chemistry, chemistry by physics, and from the new semester, histology was added. We can only dream of peace! It is not possible to buy any exam or it is too expensive or the teacher is too stubborn - the only chance to somehow influence your grade is to participate in scientific conferences or the public life of the academy, while solving a problem with one science sharply worsens with another. The teachers themselves are the best specialists I have seen (except for the psychology department). And they ask you not as a student, but as yourself, “that’s why all the doctors have black eyes.” But I like it, it's still a dream.

At the time of my admission, the university was called Smolensk State Medical Institute - 1985. Faculty: medical, pediatric, dental. The number of places received was distributed accordingly: 300/175/125. It was probably difficult to enroll, since out of a group of 30 applicants, only 5-7 people remained; there were also beneficiaries, including those after the army, who, accordingly, went out of competition. The curator of the 1st course was the deputy dean of the Faculty of Medicine, the legendary teacher of anatomy (in the history of the university), A.I. Sukharev. I would especially like to mention the honored teachers Podcheko P.I., Shevelev A.S., Evstafiev V.V., Borokhov A.I. In the 1st year I had to take part in amateur performances, which was very welcome. The Aesculapius club and the CSK dance floor are separate pages in the cultural life of the academy. The university's sanatorium in the building of the pediatric faculty is an excellent place for relaxation and excellent nutrition on the territory of the university and the medical campus as a whole. Received his diploma in 1993. I work as a doctor.

I want to talk about the university where I studied, even more than the university, my alma mater, the place where 6 years of my life passed. Unforgettable 6 years.
I studied at the Smolensk State Medical Academy, SGMA. Everyone in our glorious city of Smolensk knows this university, but there are legends about how difficult it is to enter there. Students study there not only from Smolensk, but also from cities that do not have their own medical university - Bryansk, Kaluga, Tula, Kaliningrad, as well as a whole faculty of foreign students (mainly from Sri Lanka).
There are three main faculties - medical, pediatric, dental. In addition, there are pharmaceutical, psychological and social, higher nursing education and faculties for foreign students and advanced training. I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine. During our studies, our classes were taught by professors, authors of many textbooks, and practicing doctors. After the 3rd year, most classes are taught at clinical departments directly in city hospitals. Students have a unique opportunity to gain knowledge directly at the patient’s bedside, observe the treatment process, and, if desired, participate in it.
- A medical university is different from others; studying there is difficult and interesting. After graduating from the medical academy, I work as a cardiologist and often and with pleasure remember my student years.
- Smolensk State Medical Academy
- SGMA today
- Currently, the Smolensk Medical Academy is a center of medical science, training of medical personnel and medical and preventive activities. The Academy trains doctors for
- Bryansk,
Tula,
Orlovskaya,
Kaliningradskaya,
Much attention at the academy is paid to the educational process, which is carried out under the guidance of the Central Methodological Council and the Educational and Methodological Directorate of the Academy. Particular importance is attached to the introduction of modern active teaching methods, independent work of students, and the use of computer technology in the educational process.
The academy's clinical bases are equipped with modern medical and diagnostic equipment, which allows graduates to be taught advanced medical technologies.
An important place in the training of specialists at the Academy is occupied by humanitarian education, which includes the main areas:
historical, philosophical, ethical, psychological, legal, social, cultural.
Reading room of the library SGMA Academy has a well-equipped library, which is one of the largest in the city of Smolensk. Its structure includes 3 departments, 3 reading rooms with 200 seats, 3 subscriptions. The library collection is compiled according to branches of knowledge: medicine and applied sciences - chemistry, physics, biology, humanities. The library annually subscribes to more than 200 journal titles in Russian; there are publications in other languages (English, German, French). By 2008, the library's book collection totaled more than 550,000 copies and was used by 6,640 readers. During the year, about 527,000 books and over 12,000 bibliographic references are issued. The library's book collection is replenished by approximately 7-10 thousand copies throughout the year. The library's annual attendance reaches 266,000 visits, that is, each reader comes to the library on average 50 times a year. The library conducts classes on the basics of library and information literacy among first-year and graduate students.
The departmental teams of the Academy publish textbooks, teaching aids and monographs, which are widely used in the educational process. Students and doctors can receive additional educational services through the scientific educational center of the academy.
Research work on fundamental and applied aspects of medicine is carried out in all departments and four scientific divisions of the academy:
Research Institute of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (director - Professor R. S. Kozlov), Central Scientific Research Laboratory (head of the laboratory - senior researcher G. N. Fedorov), PNRL of Clinical Biophysics and Antioxidant Therapy (head of the laboratory - Professor V. G. Podoprigorova ), PNRL “Ultrasound and minimally invasive technologies” (head of the laboratory - Professor A.V. Borsukov).
Research Institute of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy SGMA In recent years, interest in science on the part of young people has increased significantly, as evidenced by the average age of scientific employees of the scientific departments of the academy: 39 years - candidates of sciences and 36 years - doctors of sciences. The average age of the academy's scientific and pedagogical workers is 52 years. In 2004-2008, 17 scientists of the Academy were awarded the academic title of professor, and the academic title of associate professor - 63.
The training of highly qualified scientific personnel is carried out through postgraduate studies or competitive studies in 35 scientific specialties. As of the 2008/2009 academic year, 122 people are studying in graduate school, of which: 58 full-time and 64 part-time graduate students.
Planning of research work for graduate students and applicants for academic degrees at the Academy is carried out in 8 scientific areas supervised by the scientific part of the Academy (Vice-Rector for Scientific Work - Professor A. A. Punin):
motherhood and childhood (chairman of the problem committee - Professor A. N. Ivanyan), immunology, immunomorphology and immunopathophysiology (chairman of the problem committee - Professor A. S. Solovyov), physiology and pathology of the nervous system (chairman of the problem committee - Professor Ya. B. Yudelson ), internal diseases (chairman of the problem commission - Professor A. A. Punin), surgery and traumatology (chairman of the problem commission - Professor S. A. Kasumyan), dentistry (chairman of the problem commission - Professor A. S. Zabelin), medical problems of ecology (chairman of the problem commission - Professor O. V. Molotkov), physical and chemical medicine (chairman of the problem commission - professor V. G. Podoprigorova). In 2004-2009, 3 dissertation councils functioned at the academy (2 doctoral and 1 candidate), in which 17 doctoral and 151 candidate dissertations were defended in 7 scientific specialties during the specified period:
14.00.09 - pediatrics; 14.00.25 - pharmacology, clinical pharmacology; 14.00.05 - internal diseases; 14.00.00 - dentistry; 14.00.00 - surgery; 14.00.01 - obstetrics and gynecology; 14.00.00 - clinical immunology and allergology. In 2007-2008, 2 doctoral dissertation councils of our academy were successfully re-registered with the Ministry of Health and Social Development and the Higher Attestation Commission:
D 208.097.01 (Chairman of the dissertation council - Professor V. G. Pleshkov) D 208.097.02 (Chairman of the dissertation council - Professor V. E. Novikov). Currently, active work is underway to open a third doctoral dissertation council at SSMA.
Among the priority scientific areas of the Academy, the following should be highlighted:
epidemiological and molecular genetic monitoring of antibiotic resistance and improvement of chemotherapy for bacterial infections (director of the department: Director of the Scientific Research Institute of Academy of Arts, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor R.

“Bulletin of the Smolensk Medical Academy”, “Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobial Chemotherapy” (the journal is included in the list of publications recommended by the Higher Attestation Commission for the publication of materials of candidate dissertations), “Medical News of the Regions” and two electronic publications (online journals):
“Mathematical morphology” “Headache”.
In 2004-2008, the Laboratory of Molecular Diagnostics of the NIIAH Academy participated annually in 3-4 international, 4-5 federal, 5-7 industry and 3-4 regional programs and projects.
The international scientific cooperation of our Academy has significantly expanded (Research Institute of Acute Chemistry, PNIL “Ultrasound and Minimally Invasive Technologies”, Department of Clinical Pharmacology, Department of Therapy of Physic Acid Therapy and PPS, etc.). The geography of such cooperation includes scientific institutions and institutes of the Republic of Belarus, Ukraine, USA, Japan, Germany, Poland and other countries.
A significant milestone in the history of the Academy was the registration of the scientific discovery in 2004 of Professor Nikolai Fedorovich Farashchuk, “The pattern of changes in the degree of hydration of animal blood biopolymers during their adaptation to external factors.” This scientific event occurred for the first time in the history of the Academy. In 2004-2008 Academy employees received 80 patents for inventions, 2 new medical technologies were registered. During this period of time, more than 80 monographs, manuals, reference books, forms and other normative documents were published.
It is impossible not to note the scientific divisions and departments, whose contribution to the training of scientific personnel, publishing and inventive activities of the Academy, to the process of introducing new medical technologies, to the participation of the Academy in innovative programs and projects is very large, which is confirmed by the high scientific rating of these divisions in 2005- 2008 These units undoubtedly include
teams of the Scientific Research Institute of Acute Chemistry (director - Prof. R. S. Kozlov), department of faculty therapy (head - Prof. A. A. Punin), department of hospital pediatrics with a course of neonatology FPK and teaching staff (head - Prof. L. V. Kozlova) , Department of Outpatient Pediatrics (Head - Prof. T. G.

Milyagin), Department of Pharmacology with the Pharmacy Course of FPC and Teaching Staff (Head - Prof. . V. E. Novikov), Department of Normal Physiology (headed by Prof. V. A. Pravdivtsev) and many others. It can be said that the Smolensk State Medical Academy has occupied and occupies a worthy place in the system of professional education, and the high research potential of the departments and scientific divisions of the academy allows us to make serious plans for its further successful development in the 21st century.
In their work, departments and divisions of the Academy widely use Internet resources. The construction of the academy's local network with Internet access has been completed.
In 2008, the Academy carried out a reorganization of the educational and methodological department into an educational and methodological department, within which
educational, organizational, methodological and education quality department and active work has begun on developing a quality management system for the university for implementation in educational activities. The Academy has strong international scientific ties and is the organizer of international scientific symposia and conferences held within its walls. The international recognition of the university is confirmed by the election of SSMA scientists to foreign and international academies.
The pride and hope of the academy is the scientific student society with its traditional April student science day.
Gym of the FIU dormitory The academy has all the conditions to improve the cultural level and develop a harmonious personality of university graduates. The functioning of student clubs, amateur art groups, physical education and sports is aimed at this. For sporting events there are 2 gyms, a shooting training complex, a swimming pool, a ski lodge, and an outdoor stadium.
SGMA is one of the few universities in the country that has a student sanatorium. Every year, up to 12,000 students undergo treatment here on preferential terms. The sanatorium-preventorium has created good conditions for the treatment and prevention of diseases without interrupting the educational process.
The Academy has 5 comfortable dormitories, including 4 for students and 1 for cadets of the faculty of advanced training and professional retraining of specialists.
The Academy has state accreditation and a license to conduct educational activities.
History of the university
XIX century - early XX century
Throughout the history of the 19th century, there was a pronounced shortage of medical personnel in Russian healthcare. Although European Russia was second only to England (22,105), Germany (16,270) and France (14,380) in terms of the number of doctors at the beginning of the 20th century (13,475), per million inhabitants it ranked last in Europe. Moreover, their distribution throughout the country was extremely uneven: a significant part of the human resources was concentrated in large cities in the European part of the country. There were clearly not enough doctors, especially for the rural population, which made up more than 80% of the country’s inhabitants
By the beginning of the 20th century, the Smolensk province remained typically agrarian. More than 90% of its inhabitants lived in the countryside and were engaged in agriculture; the urban population was just over 120 thousand people. At the beginning of the twentieth century, two educational institutes operated in Smolensk. The archaeological one was opened in 1910 with private funds as a branch of the Moscow one. The Teachers' Institute operated since 1912, but did not provide higher education. The issue of creating a university in Smolensk to train teachers and doctors was discussed even before the start of the First World War. One of these attempts was made in 1909, as evidenced by the archives of the Smolensk Zemstvo Administration. A convenient situation for this was connected with the government’s plans to transfer the Imperial Warsaw University to the interior of Russia. Teaching there was conducted by Russian professors, in Russian. During the process of the national liberation movement, in 1905, Polish youth, who historically made up 60-70% of its students, announced a boycott of the Russian university.
Smolensk at the beginning of the 20th century. Dvoryanskaya Street (now Glinki), on the left is the building of the Noble Assembly, in which from 1933 to 1985 the main administrative and educational building of the SSMI was located. On December 2, 1906, a meeting was held in Smolensk, which was attended by Professor of the University of Warsaw Amalicki, members of the city Council, representatives of public organizations, health authorities and educational institutions of the city. Amalitsky reported that the Ministry of Public Education is considering the issue of creating a new university within European Russia, since most of the existing ones are overcrowded. At the same time, the University of Warsaw is currently inactive, and the idea arose to use its scientific facilities and scientific personnel for this new educational institution. The ministry has formed a commission, of which he is a member, to decide which city would be more appropriate to open a university in. The decisive role in this choice is played by the convenience of its geographical location, future development prospects and material support from local government and public structures. The commission has already identified a number of cities in this sequence: Voronezh, Smolensk, Yaroslavl, Vitebsk, Minsk, Saratov and Nizhny Novgorod. To finally clarify all local conditions, a deputy was sent to each of the cities. To maintain the new university, the government will provide the necessary allocations from the treasury. But in order to make a final choice between cities, it is necessary to have information about possible local material donations for its foundation.
The Smolensk residents speaking at the meeting overwhelmingly supported the idea of founding a university in Smolensk. Good transport links to the city and proximity to Moscow were considered an important factor. Having discussed the material costs for this project, it was decided that the amount necessary for the university would be donated by provincial public and class institutions: the city would be able to allocate 300,000 rubles for the opening of the university, the provincial zemstvo - the same amount, city institutions - 100,000 rubles, the nobility - 50,000 rubles. The rest funds - up to 1,000,000 rubles in the first year - will need to be found by county. The solution to financial issues could be a loan with repayment included in the budget. Issues of providing the new educational institution with temporary premises were discussed. For the Faculty of Medicine, it was planned to allocate 15 rooms and a nearby building for organizing an anatomical theater, the necessary clinical base: 10 clinics with 330 beds and medical staff. To permanently house all the buildings of the university, it was planned to build buildings with an area of at least 5 acres over time. “It’s possible - not in one place, but in two, but at a distance of no more than 15 minutes’ walk between them.” According to the majority, a higher education institution will give a lot to the city, turning Smolensk into the cultural center of a vast region. It will revive and develop all branches of local trade and industrial activity; according to preliminary estimates, income will increase by 1 million rubles per year, even if we do not take into account visitors, for example, patients in university clinics.
The Smolensk Duma appealed to the government with a request to open a university, but the project did not receive support: “I will not give bills in advance, but Smolensk’s petition will soon be submitted for discussion to the Council of Ministers and considered impartially along with petitions from other cities” - this was the minister’s response Internal Affairs P. A. Stolypin. In 1909, the medical faculty was opened in Saratov, and Smolensk was only included in the number of cities in the university network.
View of the eastern part of the Smolensk fortress wall, 1912. Photo by S. M. Prokudin-Gorsky During the First World War, the shortage of doctors in the province became even more obvious. In 1915, the medical faculty of the University of Warsaw, in connection with military operations, was transferred not to Smolensk, but to Rostov-on-Don. In the same year, the Smolensk zemstvo attempted to organize the evacuation of the medical faculty of Yuryev University to the city. But purely military circumstances got in the way. Smolensk was also a front-line city: since 1915, rear units were located here, and later the headquarters of the Western Front of the Russian Army. By government decision, the medical faculty from Yuryev was evacuated to Voronezh in 1918.
Opening of Smolensk State University (1920)
The problem of the shortage of doctors became aggravated in connection with the First World War and the Civil War, and the consequences of the revolutionary events of 1917. By early 1920, as the Civil War was drawing to a close, between 30 and 80 percent of medical personnel had died on the Eastern Front alone. In addition, out of a little over 10 thousand doctors in the military health service, more than 4 thousand suffered from typhus, and more than 800 of them died.
The situation in the Smolensk province from 1914 to 1920 remained extremely difficult. In addition to food, fuel, and transport problems, epidemics of typhus and typhoid fever, syphilis and other infectious diseases posed a great threat. The problem of lack of medical personnel, especially doctors, has worsened. Since the autumn of 1917, here, first on a voluntary basis, and then in connection with the adoption of the decree on universal military service in October 1918, mass mobilization of the population into the Red Army began. Four such mobilizations during 1918-1920 led to the fact that health care institutions were left practically without doctors.
Decree of the Council of People's Commissars "On the establishment of state universities" 1918 After the October Revolution and the end of the civil war, a whole network of higher educational institutions opened in the country. In 1918, several universities appeared in Smolensk, among which was the State University. Initially, it was decided that the Faculty of Medicine would definitely be part of it.
Two commissions simultaneously worked on the creation of SSU: a commission in Smolensk and a Council of Professors in Moscow. On the recommendation of the professors of the Moscow Proletarian University, Smolensk University was to be organized in a similar way: to differ from the previously existing type of higher school. Its goal is to raise the cultural level of the broad proletarian masses, and not to provide higher education to members of the wealthy class who have completed high school. There were no curriculum plans - that was up to the students and lecturers. Attending classes is free, there is no need to control knowledge - those who are not prepared will realize their unpreparedness and will move to another department. Later, it was decided not to waste effort and money on solving problems that a comprehensive school could easily cope with.
On the day of the celebration of the first anniversary of the October Revolution, the grand opening of Smolensk University took place, consisting of only one faculty - social sciences. Systematic classes began only in December 1918. In January - March 1919, the Educational Association was created at the university with the goal of “facilitating access to the university for students who are not prepared for academic work, and greater connection between the university and the cultural needs of the local population.” It will begin to operate fully in the fall of 1919 as a faculty of working youth - a workers' faculty. The Smolensk workers' faculty was the third to be opened in the country. His successful activities would prove to be an important argument in favor of preserving SSU and its medical faculty during 1919-1924.
Rector of SSU V.K. Serezhnikov
First Dean of the Faculty of Medicine B. L. Patsevich
Dean of the Faculty of Medicine M. A. Dykhno Perhaps the most important problem of the new university was providing it with good scientific and teaching staff. It was obvious that it was impossible to organize the full-fledged work of the university using only Smolensk specialists. But the location of the city in sufficient proximity to Moscow allowed us to hope that with properly established transport links, the problem could be solved by the participation of capital professors in the work. Previously, there was already a similar experience of holding lectures by scientists coming from Moscow: in 1907, the Smolensk People's University worked this way. By agreement with the People's Commissariat of Railways, during 1918-1920, the founders of the Moscow Socialist Academy of Social Sciences, M. A. Reisner and M. N. Pokrovsky, came to Smolensk according to the schedule of classes. Historians, political scientists, economists, and lawyers participated in the work of the Council of Professors: A. M. Vasyutinsky, B. R. Vipper, N. M. Nikolsky, G. S. Gurvich, V. K. Serezhnikov, V. I. Picheta, B. . I. Kulakov and others. Representatives of the Scientific Medical Council L. A. Tarasevich, P. N. Diatropov took direct part in the process of organizing the SSU. The first professors of Smolensk University managed to defend the foundations of Russian university education and laid the foundations for the future traditions of Smolensk University.
Thanks to the firm position of the Council of Professors, Smolensk University managed to avoid one of the mistakes of similar educational institutions formed in the country during this period. The issue of opening new faculties caused a lot of controversy. Attempts to organize historical-philological, technical, economic departments or faculties were rejected, since the experience of the “overloaded” many faculties of Astrakhan, Nizhny Novgorod and other universities was taken into account.
Throughout 1919, preparatory work continued to open only the Faculty of Medicine and the search for teaching staff for it. The initially planned visits of professors from Moscow did not justify themselves. Classes were often disrupted due to poor transport. The activities of the Economic Committee, which practically carried out on behalf of the Council of Professors all the preparatory work and management of the university in the city, required a constant presence in Smolensk. In the spring of 1919, SSU professors were invited to choose the city as their place of permanent residence. But, given the extremely difficult housing situation at that time, as well as the lack of preparedness of the library, as a result of which “a close connection with Moscow and its intellectual values is still necessary,” it was decided not to include relocation in the mandatory conditions of work at the university.
The decision to organize the medical faculty of SSU was signed on April 4, 1920, the work of the departments began in the fall of 1920. For the entire higher education of the country, this time turned out to be probably the most “powerless”. The regulatory and legal framework for managing Soviet universities had not yet been formed and had a negative impact on their activities. The politicization of society has destabilized the internal routine of educational and scientific work even in “old” universities with their traditions developed over decades. The prestige of leadership positions fell, and a person’s status and position began to be determined primarily by his political views. Attempts at the participation of the “broad organized masses of working people” in the affairs of higher education often did not help, but rather complicated its work. The absence of a unified Charter of higher education in the country led to the need to develop its own regulatory documents in each educational institution. At Smolensk University, as a result of this, conflict situations arose with local bodies of State Control, the department of public education, which required the personal intervention of the People's Commissar of Education A.V. Lunacharsky, deputy. People's Commissar of Education N.M. Pokrovsky. The process of creating governing bodies of the educational institution and electing the rector caused a lot of controversy.
In the local history literature there is no consensus on who was the first rector of SSU. The names of K.V. Serezhnikov and N.M. Nikolsky are mentioned. There is also an opinion that he can be considered the Chairman of the Economic Committee G.S. Gurvich, who directly supervised the work of the university in the first months of its existence. The two commissions that worked from August 1918 to June 1919 to create it did not always act coherently. The Smolensk Committee included representatives of the provincial, regional, city executive committees and departments of education, public organizations of the city. Here, on the spot, they could solve many issues of life support for the university: finding and repairing premises, financial support, housing and food for teachers, etc. But all the power in solving most problems belonged to the Council of Professors, a significant part of which permanently lived in Moscow. These were specialist teachers, competent in matters of creating a new educational institution. The Presidium, on behalf of the Council, directed all affairs, being the highest legislative body. The Chairman of the Presidium A. M. Vasyutinsky is essentially the immediate head of the SSU. The Economic Committee was the executive body of the Council of Professors. He dealt with the problems of organizing a university locally, in Smolensk. From November 1918 to August 1919, it was headed successively by Smolensk physician I. G. Levykin and professor G. S. Gurvich. In the absence of a Presidium in Smolensk, they are the ones responsible for ensuring the everyday needs of the educational institution.
In the summer of 1919, serious disagreements emerged in the Council of Professors, and 2 factions were formed. The first elections to the position of rector took place on June 6, 1919. The majority of those present elected Muscovite A. M. Vasyutinsky, who headed the Presidium of the Council. But some members of the Council declared the elections invalid, since there was no quorum and student representatives did not come to Moscow. The re-discussion took place on August 11, 1919, immediately after the adoption of the SSU Charter. At this meeting, with a slight majority of votes, K.V. Serezhnikov was elected as the new chairman of the Presidium of the Council of Professors, who was soon confirmed as the first rector of the university. The second candidate for this position, N.M. Nikolsky, was elected chairman of the Economic Committee (essentially, vice-rector). But he refused, citing the fact that he did not agree with some of the most important provisions of the new charter. It should be noted that N. M. Nikolsky during this period became the rector of another Smolensk university - the Pedagogical Institute. He will be the rector of SSU for 4 months (from December 1921 to March 1922) after the merger of all higher educational institutions of the city into the university.
The time turned out to be very difficult for the formation of a new educational institution, since it was during 1920-1924 that the stage of active reform of higher education began in the country. From the archival documents of that time, there were more than 20 “new” medical universities during the years 1918-1923, but not all of them were able to withstand the difficulties of formation that were inevitable for that time, and some were soon closed. Smolensk Medical Faculty could be among them.
The building in which the Physico-Chemical Institute of the SSU was located. By the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of August 2, 1918, measures are being taken to allow everyone to study at higher educational institutions, while eliminating actual privileges for the propertied classes (cancellation of entrance exams and any type of competitions). An important area of reform was the selection of special teaching staff for higher education, who not only accepted, but also completely shared the policies of the Soviet government in the country. Each candidacy for a professor of the department was discussed and approved by the Main Educational Inspectorate and the Scientific-Political Section of the State University of History and Science.
Already during the period of organization of the Smolensk medical faculty (1919-1923), most departments were headed by truly experienced and knowledgeable specialists - scientists and teachers. Thus, the organizer and first professor of the Department of Anatomy in 1920 was one of the greatest specialists of that time, Professor of Moscow University P. I. Karuzin. His successor was another student of Professor P. F. Lesgaft, V. V. Butyrkin. The first dean of the Faculty of Medicine of SSU and professor of the Department of Microbiology was G.N. Gabrichevsky’s student B.L. Patsevich, who, being an assistant director of the country’s first Moscow Bacteriological Institute, moved to Smolensk in 1911 to organize a similar institution here. On the recommendation of Professor I.P. Pavlov, the candidacy of Doctor of Medicine, Professor of the Novocherkassk Pedagogical Institute N.A. Popov was discussed for the Department of Physiology; later it was headed by N.E. Vvedensky’s student D.S. Vorontsov. The Department of Faculty and Operative Surgery was headed by Professor S. I. Spasokukotsky’s student B. E. Linberg. On the recommendation of M. V. Yanovsky, F. G. Yanovsky, D. D. Pletnev, students of Professor M. V. Yanovsky G. Ya. Gurevich, A. I. Ivanov, K. V. Punin became the heads of three therapeutic departments in Smolensk .
The first teaching staff of the Smolensk Medical Faculty was distinguished by that special “caste” that has always united Russian intellectual doctors. Everything possible was done to preserve the team. The professional solidarity of the teaching staff made it possible to pursue a fairly strict policy regarding interference in the activities of the university by representatives of students and local authorities. The admission of students sufficiently prepared for training was controlled (most of them, until the second half of the 20s, were representatives of the merchant, bourgeois, noble and clergy classes, graduates of secondary and secondary specialized educational institutions).
As a result of the rule established at the faculty - to study with capable students, selecting such students to work at the department from the first years, professors of the Smolensk Medical Faculty trained their own teaching staff. Students were given the opportunity at first to work part-time as laboratory assistants and preparators, and upon completion of the course of study, while remaining at the departments as graduate students and residents, to engage in scientific and teaching work. Thus, the professors of the Smolensk Medical Faculty in the first years trained several future scientist-teachers: professors I.M. Vorontsov and V.A. Yusin - head. Department of Anatomy, Professor V.V. Butyrkin, Professor I.O. Mikhailovsky - histologists L.I. Falin and V.V. Anisimova, professor-physiologist D.S. Vorontsov - N.A. Yudenich, P.O. Makarova, Professor of the Department of Microbiology B. L. Patsevich - the future head of the same department V. A. Yudenich, etc. This is the tradition of the Faculty of Medicine of SSU, formed in the early 20s, and will remain important in its future activities.
The principled position of the teaching staff regarding the significant limitation of the intervention of local government, student and other public structures in the management of the most important affairs of the university (decision-making on curricula and programs, organization of clinical teaching, forms and methods of knowledge control, etc.), made it possible to eliminate the influence of incompetent persons on the organization of the entire educational process, which undoubtedly had a positive impact on the quality of training of graduate specialists
The building in which the main administrative and educational building of the Smolensk State Medical Institute was located in 1933-1985 (now the M. I. Glinka Concert Hall) Glorious traditions that were formed and laid the basis for the activities of the medical faculty of SSU as a result of the truly heroic efforts of its first professors allowed us to survive the difficulties of the formation stage and find ourselves in the mid-30s among the largest higher medical schools of the USSR.
Master plan for the construction of a medical complex (1935)
Project for the construction of an educational building 1935-1936 On the eve of the Great Patriotic War, the institute became one of the largest medical universities in the country. The war interrupted the work of the Smolensk Medical Institute. Valuable property of the university was evacuated to Saratov, and for many teachers and students, university classrooms were replaced by a battlefield.
The building of the main administrative and educational building of the SGMA, the photo was taken during the Great Patriotic War. In the post-war period, the medical institute became a major university in Russia in the system of training specialists with higher medical education. In 1994, the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education transformed the Smolensk State Medical Institute into the Smolensk State Medical Academy.
In past years, the university was headed by famous scientists and health care organizers:
F.S. Bykov (1930-1937), V. A. Batalov (1938-1950), G. M. Starikov (1950-1978), N. B. Kozlov (1978-1995), V. G. Pleshkov (1995-2008) . Over the years, outstanding scientists studied and worked at the Smolensk State Medical Institute, who made a significant contribution to the development of domestic medicine and healthcare, creating large Russian schools - Honored Scientists of the Russian Federation A. T. Busygin, A. T. Petryaeva, N. B. Kozlov, Yu. G. Novikov; awarded the Order of Lenin by professors A. A. Ogloblin, K. A. Nizhegorodtsev, K. V. Punin, V. A. Yudenich, L. A. Shangina; Order of the Red Banner of Labor Professors G. G. Dubinkin, V. G. Molotkov, M. Z. Popov; the Order of the Badge of Honor to Professors A. N. Kartavenko, S. M. Nekrasov and many others.
Scientific departments were opened at the university: in January 1980 - the central research laboratory (CNRL), in June 1999 - the research institute of antimicrobial chemotherapy, in April 2001 - the problematic research laboratory of clinical biophysics and antioxidant therapy (PNRL) .

Professions in the medical field are always held in high esteem, because those who choose them strive to help other people and care about the health of the population. To obtain one of the noble specialties, you must undergo training at a medical school. One of such educational institutions exists in Smolensk. Its name is Smolensk Medical University.
History of the educational institution
At the beginning of the 20th century, they began to discuss the need to create an organization that trains doctors. It was solved in 1920. A medical faculty was opened at Smolensk State University. After some time, the division became an independent institution. This happened in 1924.
It functioned in Smolensk until 1994. Then it received academy status. The educational organization became a university quite recently. The last reorganization was carried out in 2015. This change was due to the high achievements of the university.
Getting to know the university
If you are thinking of enrolling in Smolensk Medical University, a photo is not enough to make the final choice. That is why every year applicants can get to know the university better. On a certain date, Smolensk Medical University holds an open day. The university is open to future students and their parents, as well as to all those who want to know additional information about the educational institution. On an open day, a festive atmosphere is created in the educational institution. Guests are greeted by colorful balloons and friendly volunteers.
Concert performances are organized for visitors. In addition to them, applicants and their parents listen to speeches by university leaders. The rector of the university speaks about the importance of choosing the right path in life, talks about the educational institution and its achievements. The deans introduce those present to the functioning faculties. Applicants ask questions about admission and training and receive answers to them.
Faculties at the university
Smolensk State Medical University has 6 main faculties:
- medicinal;
- pediatric;
- psychological and social;
- dental;
- pharmaceutical;
- medical, biological and humanities education.
The listed faculties train students who have decided to obtain higher medical education. The faculty of foreign students deserves special mention. It deals with the reception and resettlement of persons who are citizens of other countries, and resolves important issues related to training and holding cultural events. The Faculty of Additional Professional Education, which provides professional training and advanced training, also deserves special attention.
Medical Faculty
At Smolensk Medical University, as evidenced by student reviews, the medical faculty is the largest. Currently, about 1,200 students study here. The faculty, as indicated by the medical university, has been working since the establishment of the educational institution. Over the years of its existence, a huge number of doctors have been graduated. Students study at the Faculty of Medicine for 6 years. Training is carried out in various medical specialties, the number of which exceeds 40 items. First, students study fundamental natural science and biomedical disciplines (chemistry, biology, anatomy, etc.). In senior years, special clinical subjects appear in the schedule.
Faculty of Pediatrics
This structural unit has not been operating since the founding date of the educational institution. Smolensky announced the creation of a pediatric faculty in 1966. The division includes 13 departments where students are taught professional disciplines. The teaching staff has extensive teaching experience and significant scientific potential. Thanks to this, students receive good knowledge.
Students, leaving reviews about the pediatric faculty, note that the educational process is structured as follows:
- First they study the theory.
- Then practical training begins. Its initial stage is implemented on mannequins in classrooms.
- After obtaining the necessary knowledge and skills, students are sent to pediatric practice in children's hospitals, where they begin to master the profession of junior medical personnel and gradually rise to the rank of doctor.
Faculty of Psychology and Social Sciences
Considering the Smolensk Medical University and the faculties of this university, it is worth paying attention to the youngest structural unit - the psychological and social faculty. It started its work in 2011.
It provides training in two areas:
- "Clinical psychology". This is a broad-profile specialty that allows graduates to work in schools, hospitals, universities, and family planning services. Students who choose this direction study full-time for 5.5 years. They study general professional and special subjects, become familiar with various diagnostic and psychocorrectional techniques.
- "Social work". For this direction, the duration of study is 4 years on a full-time basis and 5 years on a part-time basis. During this period, students prepare for social work: they learn to help reveal the potential of a person’s personality and take care of the quality of life.
Faculty of Dentistry
The Faculty of Dentistry at Smolensk Medical University was opened in 1963. This structural unit still exists and continues to train dentists. Students study the treatment, diagnosis and prevention of various diseases of the dental system. Many applicants, upon admission to Smolensk Medical University, apply to the Faculty of Dentistry. This choice is due to the fact that the profession of a dentist is in great demand. Each person, after completing his studies at a university, chooses his own path: gets a job in a public hospital, a private clinic, or opens his own business.
Faculty of Pharmacy
Since 2002, Smolensk Medical University has been inviting people to enroll in this structural unit. The Faculty of Pharmacy has existed since this time. Over the years of its existence, it has produced many pharmacists for pharmacy organizations and pharmaceutical enterprises and currently continues to train them. Graduates are engaged in the sale of medicines, development and testing of new medicines.
At the Faculty of Pharmacy, training is carried out only on a full-time basis. Students, starting from the 3rd year, study disciplines such as pharmaceutical chemistry, medical and pharmaceutical commodity science, pharmaceutical technology, etc. Students become familiar with medicinal plants, the rules for their preparation and drying.
Faculty of Medical, Biological and Humanitarian Education
Since 2003, Smolensk Medical University has included the Faculty of Medical, Biological and Humanitarian Education. It includes several areas of training:
- "Nursing" with a duration of study of 4 years.
- "Medical Biochemistry" with a duration of study of 6 years.
- “Special (defectological) education” with a duration of study of 4 years on a full-time basis.
The specialty “Nursing” has existed for a long time. The last 2 directions were opened in 2016. They are very relevant, since they provide training for the necessary personnel.
Admission to university
For each area of training at Smolensk Medical University, certain entrance tests and a specific number of minimum points are established. For applicants who have graduated from school, their Unified State Examination results are taken into account. Persons with higher education or higher education may, at their discretion, choose the form of entrance examinations - either the Unified State Exam or exams taken in writing within the walls of an educational organization.

For almost 100 years, the university has been producing qualified personnel. Training in an educational organization is carried out taking into account established traditions and using the latest technologies, making the educational process modern and of very high quality.
The situation in the Smolensk province from 1914 to 1920 remained extremely difficult. In addition to food, fuel, and transport problems, epidemics of typhus and typhoid fever, syphilis and other infectious diseases posed a great threat. At the same time, four mobilizations into the Red Army were carried out here during 1918-1920, after which health care institutions were left practically without doctors. In 1918, several universities appeared in Smolensk, among which was the State University (SSU). Initially, it was decided that the Faculty of Medicine would definitely be part of it. Thanks to the firm position of the council of professors, Smolensk University managed to avoid one of the mistakes of similar educational institutions formed in the country during this period - overload with many faculties. Throughout 1919, preparatory work for the opening of the medical faculty continued, the search for teaching staff for it continued. During the period of organization of the Smolensk medical faculty (1919-1923), most of the departments were headed by truly experienced and knowledgeable specialists - scientists and teachers. Thus, the organizer and first professor of the Department of Anatomy in 1920 was one of the greatest specialists of that time, professor of Moscow University P.I. Karuzin. His successor is another student of Professor P.F. Lesgafta V.V. Butyrkin. The first dean of the Faculty of Medicine of SSU and professor of the Department of Microbiology was a student of G.N. Gabrichevsky - B.L. Patsevich, who, being an assistant director of the country's first Moscow Bacteriological Institute, moved to Smolensk in 1911 to organize a similar institution here. The Department of Physiology was headed by student N.B. Vvedensky - D.S. Vorontsov. The Department of Faculty and Operative Surgery was headed by a student of Professor S.I. Spasokukotsky - B.E. Linberg, The heads of three therapeutic departments in Smolensk were students of Professor M.V. Yanovsky - G.Ya. Gurevich, A.I. Ivanov, K.V. Punin. The first teaching staff of the Smolensk medical faculty was distinguished by that special “caste” that has always united Russian intellectual doctors. Everything possible was done to preserve the team. The professional solidarity of professors and teachers made it possible to pursue a fairly strict policy regarding interference in the activities of the university by representatives of students and local authorities. As a result of the rule established at the faculty - to study with capable students, selecting such students to work at the department from the first years, professors of the Smolensk medical faculty trained their own teaching staff. So in the first years they trained several future scientist-teachers: the head of the department of anatomy, professor V.V. Butyrkin - professors I.M. Vorontsov and V.A. Yusina, professor I.O. Mikhailovsky - histologists L.I. Falin and V.V. Anisimov, professor-physiologist D.S. Vorontsov - N.A. Yudenich, P.O. Makarova, professor of the Department of Microbiology B.L. Patsevich - the future head of the same department V.A. Yudenich. The glorious traditions that were formed and laid the basis for the activities of the Faculty of Medicine of SSU as a result of the truly heroic efforts of its first professors made it possible to survive the difficulties of the formation stage and find themselves in the mid-1930s among the largest higher medical schools of the USSR. 1924 became a critical year in the life of medical faculty. The faculty was closed three times and then reopened. The same fate befell many universities in the country at this time. Smolensk accepted physicians who had not completed their education from the liquidated medical faculties of Yaroslavl, Simferopol, Sverdlovsk and other universities. Of the 228 people recruited in 1924, 128 were transferred from other universities. In 1925, the first graduation of students from the Faculty of Medicine of SSU took place: 26 men and 54 women. At this time, the faculty already had 35 departments with laboratories. In practical classes By 1933, two new faculties were organized: sanitary and preventive with an epidemiological department and the faculty of maternal and infant health with two departments - pediatric and obstetrics-gynecology. This year, 910 students have already studied within the walls of SSMI. The educational base of the institute, the living conditions of students living in dormitories improved significantly, more than 90% of students received scholarships, one-time benefits were issued. Until 1938, the institute was headed by the first director - associate professor F.S. Bykov. Later he was replaced in this post by V.A. Batanov, who headed the university until 1950. In the 1930s, the same processes took place at the Smolensk Medical Institute that were characteristic of the public life of the entire country. It was not spared by political repressions, which killed people morally and physically, crippled the fate of families, and caused great damage to the country’s healthcare system. By the 15th anniversary of the institute, 30 graduate students were trained in its departments. At the Research Institute of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, from 1936 to 1941 (inclusive), 34 candidate and 14 doctoral dissertations were completed. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, 2,635 students were studying at two faculties of the Smolensk Medical Institute - medical and pediatric. 20 processors, doctors of science and more than 10 candidates of science taught at the departments. The war interrupted the work of the Smolensk Medical Institute. Valuable property of the university was evacuated to the city of Saratov. Part of the teaching staff was sent to work in various institutes of the country, continuing to train medical personnel in the rear. Many teachers and students went to the front. Hundreds of graduates, students, staff and teachers of the university worked in medical battalions and hospitals, participated in battles, partisans, died under shelling and on the front line. When the Red Army liberated Smolensk, it was discovered that with the exception of the main building, which was blown up but did not burn down, The educational and residential facilities of the medical institute were destroyed. The buildings of most of the city's medical institutions, which were clinical bases, were also completely destroyed. In the spring of 1944, recalled from the active army V.A. Batanov began to restore the institute. And already in the fall, classes were resumed not only in the first year, but also in subsequent courses. The first post-war graduation of doctors took place in July 1945. In the 1950s, SSMI was revived as one of the largest medical universities in the country, brought its material and technical base to the modern level, and made confident steps in scientific and educational work. In 1950, associate professor G.M. was appointed rector of SSMI. Starikov, a graduate of the institute, who made a great contribution to the development of the university, the construction of educational buildings and dormitories. With his direct participation, the dental and pediatric faculties and the preparatory department were opened. In 1978, as rector G.M. Starikov was replaced by N.B. Kozlov (1924-2001), graduate of SSMI (1952), Doctor of Medical Sciences, professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, honorary professor of the Smolensk State Medical Academy. Under him, in 1980, the Central Research Laboratory (CNRL) was opened at the university. Over the years, outstanding scientists studied and worked at the Smolensk State Medical Institute, who made a significant contribution to the development of domestic medicine and healthcare, who created large Russian schools - honored figures science of the Russian Federation A.T. Busygin, A.T. Petryaeva, N.B. Kozlov, Yu.G. Novikov; awarded the Order of Lenin by Professor A.A. Ogloblin, K.A. Nizhegorodtsev, K.V. Punin, V.A. Yudenich, L.A. Shangina; Order of the Red Banner of Labor - Professor GG. Dubinkin, V.G. Molotkov, M.Z. Popov; Order of the Badge of Honor - Professor A. N. Kartavenko, S.M. Nekrasov and many others. In 1994, the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education transformed the Smolensk State Medical Institute into the Smolensk State Medical Academy (SGMA). New scientific departments are opening at the university; in June 1999 - Research Institute of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (Research Institute of Akh) (Professor L.S. Strachunsky), in April 2001 - Problem Research Laboratory of Clinical Biophysics and Antioxidant Therapy (PNIL). From the 1970s to today Day SSMA is the center of medical science, training of medical personnel and treatment and preventive activities. The Academy trains doctors for Smolensk, Bryansk, Kaluga, Tula, Oryol, Kaliningrad and other regions of the Russian Federation, as well as for foreign countries. In 1995-2008, the post of rector of the Smolensk State Medical Academy was held by V.G. Pleshkov, graduate of the State Medical Institute (1968), Doctor of Medical Sciences, professor, academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, honored worker of higher education.
