Our mission and strategic priorities
We are building the faculty on the principles of evidence-based medicine and practice-oriented learning. The key vectors of our development are:
1. Internationalization: Integration into the global scientific space through partnerships with European universities (in particular, Germany and Poland) and
the implementation of double degree programs.
2. Innovation base: Creation of a modern simulation center, a surgical training complex and a health and rehabilitation support hub.
3. Quality of education: Preparation for full accreditation of educational programs (in particular, OP "Medicine" in March 2026) and expansion of the license scope.

in the process of restoring physical and mental health.
* I2 "Medicine" (Master) is the fundamental training of future doctors. The direction is provided by the powerful staff of the Department of Medicine, where the largest number of Doctors of Science of the faculty work.
* I8 "Pharmacy" (Master) is a combination of a deep theoretical base with practice in leading pharmaceutical chains.
* Chemistry block (E3 Chemistry, A4.06 Secondary education: Chemistry) is the scientific foundation of the faculty, training researchers and teachers of the new generation.
We are also preparing to launch a new promising specialty - "Technologies of Medical Diagnostics and Treatment".
