State Medical Academy
In December 1930 the Medical Faculty of the
Voronezh University became an independent Medical Institute consisting of two
Faculties: the Faculty of General Medicine and the Faculty of Health. In 1933
the Pediatric Faculty, in 1957 the Faculty of Stomatology (Dentistry) and in
1983 the Faculty of Continuing Education for Medical specialists and
Practicing Physicians were added. In 1992 the International Faculty of Medical
Education and the Faculty of Pre-University Training were introduced. As a
recognition of it’s Academic Excellence and being one of the largest
scientific-educational & medical-diagnostic Centers in Russia, the
Ministry of Education awarded the Academy Status and the Institute was
renamed as Voronezh State Medical Academy in 1994. In the same year Faculty
of Advanced Nursing was established. Having an intercollegiate status in
previous years the Pharmaceutical Department has developed its own academic
curriculum and became an independent Faculty since 2002. |

The Voronezh State Medical Academy named after
N.N. Burdenko is the Oldest Higher Medical Educational Establishment in
Russia. By the order of Tsar Alexander the First on April 21st, 1802 the
Derpt University was established in the north west of Russia. (Later getting
the name Yuriev, and nowadays renamed the Tartu University) The imperial Derpt University was the largest
scientific – medical center in Russia and is the connecting loop between
scientific centers in Russia and Western Europe. Medical faculty of Derpt
University was proud for its outstanding graduates, who later became
prominent scientists and joined its academic staff. Among those were N.I.
Pirogov, the founder of many pioneering techniques in surgery, N.I. Lunin,
the founder of the studies on vitamins, N.I. Leporsky , the author of the
theory of digestive diseases and N.N. Burdenko , the founder of Russian
Neurosurgery. In February 1918 the German troops occupied
Yuriev, the Russian Department of the University was closed and in summer
1918 moved to Voronezh. The dream of the progressive intellectuals in
Voronezh towards establishing a University in the city was thus fulfilled. On
12th November 1918 all the faculties of the Voronezh University started
training doctors.

founder of many pioneering approaches to surgery, N.I. Lunin, the founder of
the studies on vitamins, N.I. Leporsky , the author of the theory of

The best general rule to follow in seeking
good medical education is based on the old saying, “The old is gold.” In many
situations in our daily life we select the best by age and experience. We buy
a house from a builder who has spent years building good houses. When we
travel by air, we prefer an airline with a long record of safety. When it
comes to our personal needs, we select a dentist who is experienced and for a
serious illness, we go to a Doctor who has spent years treating that
particular illness. In our daily lives we select products and
services by age, experience with a long history of excellence. Shouldn’t we
apply the same principle in selecting the best medical establishment for our
education? In a search for the best medical education, it
would be naive to think that all the medical universities in the Russian
Federation are above world standards when it comes to providing excellent
training and education in the field of medicine. Just like any other place,
the Russian medical universities maintain standards that can be considered
below those to a number of well known medical schools abroad. It is unfair to
say that all the medical schools in the Russia are excellent and all the
schools abroad are below standard. In reality, there are excellent schools in
Russia, and then there are universities which can be called good, and there
are some below standard too. By the same token, not all the foreign schools
are excellent or good either. To find the difference between good and
average, you should apply several standards and criteria which are essential
and fundamental to a good medical education. |
|
1. Years of experience in providing medical
education. The institution must be minimum of 50 years old or older, since it
takes almost that much of time for an institution of higher education to
grow, mature and become deeply rooted in society. Voronezh State Medical Academy is the Oldest Medical Educational
Establishment in Russia with a great history from 1802. 2. Teaching hospitals. A medical university
must have several of its own well established, modem teaching hospitals. If
the university does not have these, then the students are put in to a very
disadvantageous position. The lack of clinical teaching facilities of its own
should raise a red flag about that university because the scope of education
that can be provided is greatly limited. To summarize this point, we will say that a
good medical university should have not just one or two teaching hospitals,
but several well equipped, furnished with modern teaching hospitals to
prepare you for the demands of a medical profession. 3. Small class size. Small group classes may
be considered a luxury for some; but it’s a must for medical students to
interact closely with the professors and teaching medical staff. Many of
these so-called universities for profit have more than 40 students per class.
Maximum size of a Voronezh State Medical Academy class is 12 students . 4. Ample Research Facilities. Good research
facilities and programs go hand in hand with a good medical college. Some new
medical teaching establishments have research facilities just for the sake of
saying. This kind of institution cannot be called a research-oriented
facility. A good medical teaching university must have
real research programs and must have opportunities for research in each of
its teaching departments. This type of situation would give the “Future
Doctors” important chances to be exposed to many multi-disciplinary research
projects. The Research and Development work at Voronezh State Medical Academy is
carried out within the framework of the program “Optimization of measures for
the prevention and treatment of Diseases in present eco–hygienical
conditions”. This includes 11 research projects carried out by all of the 78
Departments of the Academy. 5. High Quality Teaching staff. It is
essential for a good medical education facility to have a highly qualified
post-graduate-Level-trained staff with professors having Ph.D. in research as
well as a post-graduate degree in medicine. Universities where the majority
of the staff have a combination of M.D. and Ph.D. degrees are in a position
to give you the best training in science and research. Within Voronezh State Medical Academy’s 76 Departments, 800 full-time
faculty staff engage in education, research & development work. Among
them: 117 are Professors in Medical specialties and 540 hold Ph.D. Degrees. 6. Recognition and Accreditation. To qualify
initially on an international level the University must be approved,
recognized, and listed by the World Health Organization (WHO), currently
headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. Almost all member nations currently go
by this standard as an initial requirement for permitting medical graduates
to meet the license requirements in the member nation. The school must be recognized and accredited
by the government of the country where the school is located. Fully
government-supported schools are in better shape for worldwide recognition
than privately managed schools. Voronezh State Medical Academy is fully sponsored by Russian Government
and recognized by WHO. 7. Inter University/International
Relationships and Reputation. A good medical university will have active
working relationships with many similar institutions around the globe.
Agreements on research, cooperation, and transfer of technology with other
medical universities, both those located in the same country and those
located abroad, are important for quality of education, credibility, and
recognition on an international basis. The Voronezh State Medical Academy plays an active role in 84 Federal,
Regional, Inter-Regional and International research projects and programs.
The most important projects include corporation with the Institute of
Aviation and Space Medicine of the Russian Federation, with the Brain
Institute of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, with the Institutes of
Reanimation and Pharmacology of Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, With the
Medical Faculty of the Humboldt University in Berlin, University Clinic
Charite-Germany, with the Charitable Fund for the improvement of the health
and vision of child orphans Russia/USA within the framework of the program
“Improvement of the health condition of orphan children”. |
