Rostov State Medical University
About the University
Rostov State Medical University is a Russian public university of higher professional education under the Ministry of Health and Social Medicine.
It is also known as Rostov State Medical Institute, RostSMU, RostGMU, or Rostov State Government Medical University.
The university traces its roots back to the Russian Warsaw University, which was evacuated to Rostov-on-Don and reorganized as The Don University.
The best representatives of medical schools from Warsaw, Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kazan came together here to establish the unique Rostov Medical School,
which has since become one of the finest in Russia.
In 1930, the Medical Faculty was reorganized into the Institute of Medicine, making it the largest medical university in the South of the USSR.
By the 1950s, it achieved the status of a first-category institution, earned the right to conduct dissertation defenses, and expanded with new departments
and training facilities. In the 1960s, the Central Scientific Research Laboratory and the Preparatory Faculty for training foreign citizens were established.
In 1994, the institute was granted university status, and today it stands as the largest medical research center in Southern Russia.
Rostov State Medical University has a strong academic infrastructure, including a medical library, University Clinic, sports and leisure facilities,
and student hostels. Students also have access to free Internet, electronic library resources, and modern communication tools,
ensuring a high-quality educational experience.
