Pavlov State Medical University is one of the leading medical universities in Russia, which annually graduates a large number of highly qualified specialists. It occupies a leading position and has a high rating among educational institutions that train specialists in medicine and health care, not only within our country, but also abroad. The university was opened at the end of the 19th century, but at that time it was called, oddly enough, the Women’s Medical Institute. It is also worth noting that it was the first educational institution in Russia (and in Europe in general) where women had the opportunity to receive a medical education. Over the years the institute has improved more and more and can now truly be called one of the best in the country. Here new methods of treatment and diagnostics of diseases are developed and the most important discoveries are made. The university annually provides its applicants with about 600 budgetary and more than 400 commercial training places. The university has the following directions:
- Clinical Medicine – 94.08% of all students study here.
- Nursing – 4.29%.
- Psychological sciences – 1.56%.
- Physical Education and Sports — 0.13%.
