The International Faculty

In the Crimean state Medical Academy training of doctors for foreign countries started in 1961, when 6 students from Greece arrived in Simferopol. In 1966 the dean’s office for the work with foreign students was established, which was later on reorganized into the International medical faculty. Foreign doctors have graduated regularly from our Academy since 1967.

The number of the countries, which citizens receive education at our Academy, as well as the quantity of foreign students, are constantly growing. At present students from 38 countries of the world are trained at the Academy.

Since 1999 the Academy has introduced and developed a new method of training – teaching foreign students in the English language.

This is the evidence of perspectives of training specialists for foreign countries; it creates all the conditions for transformation of our Academy into a leading center training not only doctors but also lecturers and research workers for higher medical schools abroad.
