Studying for a doctor is very difficult, but very rewarding. Qualitative medical education requires young people to concentrate their efforts in acquiring knowledge, practical skills, and self-development. In our country there are not many really worthwhile cult medical universities, but the Russian National Research Medical University named after NI Pirogov is one of them.

General facts about the Russian National Research Medical University named after NI Pirogov

The University is ranked 27th in the ranking of the best higher educational institutions of Russia, according to the international rating agency "Expert RA", and the second place in the same rating among medical universities. Among his graduates are many well-known scientific figures, excellent doctors of different profiles.

Today it is the only university in the country that provides the opportunity to receive a double European degree diploma.

History of the educational institution

RNIMU was founded in the far 1906 year. Then the modern university functioned as women's courses. Since 1930 this institution has the status of a state medical institute, and since 1956 the university bears the name of the great surgeon Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the university was renamed the Russian National Medical Research University named after N.I. Pirogov (RNIMU). Chairs, faculties and scientific departments also reformed, since the scale of the activity of this university went well beyond the average statistical educational center. RNIMU has become one of the largest and most prestigious scientific, research and medical institutions in Russia.

The university continued to expand gradually, but he made a new seven-league step in development in 2010, when he received the status of "National Research University".

The best place for a detailed acquaintance with the history of the university is its museum, which is located in the main building on the 4th floor. For everyone, it is open on Mondays after lunch.

Infrastructure campus RNIMU

For a full-fledged educational process, it is important for the university to have not only a staff of qualified teachers and a strong scientific base, but also a modern materially developed infrastructure. It is much easier and more effective for students to acquire knowledge in comfort and convenience.

Very few educational institutions have such a developed material base and the right infrastructure for comprehensive development as RNIMU. The students' comments, however, emphasize that it is time to renovate and ennoble some of the buildings and, especially, the hostels. The main complaints of students relate to the fact that the audience, especially the department and the deans are updated regularly, but to the student premises, for example, a dormitory or dining room, hands from year to year do not reach.

Many Muscovites welcomed news of two large-scale fires on the campus of the Second Medical. The last occurred in May 2015. Then the building of one of the hostels broke out, resulting in the death of three students from Africa and South-East Asia, another three dozen people received varying degrees of injury. The reason for the ignition was the unsatisfactory state of the postings, besides there were no fire exits in the building.

With regard directly to educational institutions, their excellent condition and proper equipment are noted even by the most biased students. Audiences are well equipped, many have multimedia projectors, Wi-Fi. In laboratory rooms and classrooms for practical classes, especially at the faculties of pharmacy and microbiology, special requirements to the safety of premises (correct flooring, ventilation, etc.) are observed

Another cult heritage and pride of the university is a huge scientific library. In the funds of the storage, which occupies an area of 6759.6 square meters. M, there are valuable scientific works, publications, leading editions. A reading room for 175 seats is equipped, WI-FI and an electronic library with subscriptions to the world's leading periodicals are available.

At the disposal of students is a huge sports complex for 8 rooms with changing rooms and showers, as well as the educational and sports complex "Konakovo", located on the banks of the Volga and equipped for year-round living.

Scientific centers, practice bases, internships in RNIMU

Also, on the basis of the University, the Training Center for Innovative Medical Technologies was established in 2011. It is located on the street. Ostrovityanova, 1. The opening of the center allowed to bring to a new level the training of specialists in the surgical profile. Students have the opportunity to take practical courses and practice skills using the latest equipment.

Also, the unique scientific and educational center "Emergency conditions in pediatrics" is open on the basis of RNIMU. The responses of specialists and students mark the acute need for such centers in all medical schools. At the workshops, students have the opportunity in the system of continuous educational process to sharpen the skills of providing urgent help to children.

The University has a license to provide medical services to patients. Responsible for this is the Scientific Research Clinical Institute of Pediatrics named after Yu. E. Veltyschev, which is the leading pediatric center of the country.

The Russian gerontological scientific and clinical center on the basis of the university conducts research and works as an outpatient center.

Profiles of medical care: laboratory diagnostics, endoscopy, roentgenology, functional diagnostics, surgery, urology, cardiology, neurology, gynecology, orthopedics, etc.

University structure: faculties, departments, divisions

In the educational structure of the university there are 8 faculties, each of which carries out training in a number of specialties.

1. Medical Faculty. This is the oldest and most status-oriented faculty of the university. The University is accredited to prepare specialists in medical matters. The training program is designed for 6 years. Full-time form of education. At the faculty there are almost 40 chairs on medical profiles (surgery, oncology, biochemistry, urology, hospital therapy, ophthalmology, psychiatry, forensic medicine, neurology, etc.).
2. Dental Faculty, on the basis of which there are two departments. The biggest competition at this faculty is due not only to the sharply growing popularity of the specialty, but also to the complexity of training qualified dentists. Training also includes working with real patients from the fourth year under the guidance of a practitioner. Qualitative basic medical training, sharpening practical and improving manual skills - that's the ideal formula for training professional dentists in the RIIGU named after NI Pirogov. The feedback of graduates and their employers on the quality and novelty of the knowledge obtained, their practical value, allows one to name the stomatological faculty of RNIMU one of the best in Moscow.
3. Pharmaceutical faculty prepares specialists in the field of "Pharmacy". Students are practicing not only in clinics, but also in pharmaceutical production.
4. Faculty for the training of foreign citizens. The university provides training for foreign citizens on the main medical specialties. About 1,000 students from more than 60 countries study in full-time. Training is conducted in Russian, but for communication and better mastery the material is duplicated in English.
   
5. Medical and Biological Faculty. The faculty trains qualified specialists in clinical disciplines and modern biomedical sciences. Stress in the educational process at the ICF is done for fundamental theoretical training and research activities. There are 20 departments at the faculty. Basic: radiation diagnosis, immunology, genetics, nanobiotechnology. It is these specialties that are fundamentally different from the clinical, practically useful areas of the medical case. They work more for the future of medical science, conduct archival research on major diseases and methods of treatment. A particularly promising path is research on the correction of genetic and neurological pathologies.
6. The Psychological and Social Faculty unites 4 departments and prepares specialists in the field of "Clinical Psychology". If you analyze the teaching feedback, the Faculty of RNIMU "Psychological and social education" has a lot of important profound advantages that allow professionals to prepare psychological sciences. The fact is that psychologists are preparing many different specialized universities (pedagogical and economic), but only in the medical school can train really qualified specialists who are able to work with acute pathologies of personality disorder, borderline states.

Pediatric Faculty

The leading pediatric faculty in the country was opened in the pre-war years. At different times, advanced research workers and the best in the country children's doctors were graduates of this faculty of RNIMU. The departments of the pediatric faculty (their 54) have the best ratio of teachers with higher degrees in the country (doctors of medical sciences, associate professors, candidates).

The process of teaching at the pediatric faculty has fundamental differences, includes a number of important psychological disciplines, an emphasis on the development of diagnostic and practical skills. Chairs work in the main medical areas. The most popular departments, and, naturally, specialties with the biggest contest: pediatric dentistry, the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Neurology.

Some departments are considered to be the most important, since they provide training to students regardless of their profile, they teach important general disciplines, for example, "Fundamentals of Patient Care". This includes the department of propaedeutics of childhood diseases RNIMU. The feedback from students indicates how important it is to find a common language with teachers in these departments on time, because they have many disciplines in each course.

International faculty of the Pirogov RNIMU: feedback on cooperation with European and American universities

It should be explained what is the fundamental difference between the faculty for the training of foreign citizens and the international faculty. The first one accepts citizens from other countries for training, and the second one helps Russian citizens obtain a double European degree diploma.

Transfer to this faculty is possible from the number of first-year students based on the results of the IMAT test.

This cooperation is a unique project within the Russian Federation, but in the European countries of cooperation in educational programs the university has long become a common practice.

Students of the specialty "Medical business" can receive a double diploma. For this purpose, the university management synchronized the curricula of the courses, credits, loads, hours with the program of the University of Milan.

Also in the near future, a comparison of the curricula of the medical and biological faculty of RNIMU and Turin University is planned.

The first students entered the international faculty in 2014, so the opinion of graduates or their employers about the quality of knowledge and the reliability of the diploma is not yet clear. However, the students of the faculty make very flattering reviews about the specifics of teaching.

International Medicine - Faculty of RNIMU, which gives an opportunity to obtain simultaneously a diploma of two universities. But the program load is also higher for students, exams can be taken at the Moscow University, but only the commission from the teachers from the University of Milan accepts them.

Budget programs, number of seats

The second medical university accepts entrants under state programs at the expense of budgetary appropriations. Depending on the specialty, the number of budget places varies. For example, in the specialty "Medicine" the number of state places is 600, Pediatrics is 450, and Dentistry is 45. 10% of budgetary places are distributed among students who pass through special quotas (invalids, orphans, veterans' children). The number of contract places is about half that for each specialty.

The University regularly holds Open Doors Days to enable applicants to get acquainted with the training program, to estimate their chances for admission, to find out the most reliable information about the number of places for the chosen specialty, the list of documents, etc. You can also talk to students who have already taken place in RNIMU. Reviews about teachers, orders in the hostel can be learned from them - those who study in the walls of this institution.

Test knowledge control in RNIMU

Back in 2013, as part of the systemic initiative on combating corruption, a system of test control of students' knowledge in some subjects was introduced.

Specially developed tests students had to take once a quarter in online mode in auditoriums with video surveillance. This system caused at first many confusions on the part of students and teachers. She really neutralized the possibility of bribery or prejudice against students, but in the early years a lot of embarrassment arose because of the dampness of these innovations.

Also, the question was raised about the accuracy of the test assessment of knowledge. After all, most medical specialties require more practical and analytical skills. In the following years the system was adjusted, finalized, now it functions quite well. A new level was introduced: after the test assignments, the student passes an oral exam, and in some specialties, a practical test.

Reviews about RNIMU him. Pirogova

The medical research university is also called the Second Medical University. This is really the second largest and the highest status in the capital and the national higher education institution with long-term training practice, research developments. He always had a solid reputation and authority in the scientific community.

Everyone has his own unique opinion; Sometimes what is to taste one, is unacceptable to others. A few very subjective reviews clearly should not ultimately affect the decision of the applicant to devote the next six years to study at the university. It is advisable to spend a day or two, to pay a visit to the Open Doors Day or sign up for preparatory courses to independently form an opinion about the university. But with the proper measure of adequate skepticism, one can analyze what the students say about RNIM. Their reviews most often relate to prosaic everyday aspects of student life: dormitory, dining room, congestion, etc.

The hostel is not far from the academic buildings, you can get to the classes quite quickly. A dining room, a science library and a sports center are also located in the campus. Conditions in the hostel were not praised by anyone, the building is quite old, requires repair and a global revision of the safety rules. And the number of seats is limited, primarily populate students by quota.

But about the dining room reviews are different. Many wrote that after 2015, the quality of food has improved significantly, the prices are adequate, the service is fast.

Academic workload by different students is perceived in different ways, but in general the learning process is little like a serene youth courage. The university is quite strict about the quality of knowledge among students, respectively, and the level of requirements is high. Deductions for underachievement, untimely passing of examinations and tests in RNIMU happen often.
