MODERN DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The need for a systematic reformation of the educational process in the Russian medical universities is
considered obvious. This reform has been started as part of the high-priority national projects. One of the
winners of the competition between the universities implementing innovative educational programs is the
Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry (MSUMD).
In 2007 MSUMD started an experimental project which involves following activities: employee training,
refurbishment of lecturing facilities, acquiring modern diagnostic and training equipment, development of innovative
equipment, creation of fundamentally new academic and exploratory, scientific and clinical centers, creation of
fundamentally new textbooks, manuals and programs, as well as radical update of the existing ones. This allowed
MSUMD to already now show some fundamental changes in the system higher medical education.
