Strengthening the SSMU brand
23 May 2025
Rector of SSMU Andrey Eremin took part in an expanded meeting of the Board of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in Moscow, dedicated to summarizing and approving plans for further development of the healthcare industry.
Mikhail Mishustin, Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation, highlighted the positive trends of recent years, focusing on improving the infrastructure of primary health care, increasing the number of free medical examinations among the adult population and reducing infant mortality to a historical minimum.
Minister of Health Mikhail Murashko announced the industry's transition to a new stage of active reforms in the next five years, involving the widespread use of innovative technologies, the development of telemedicine and increased availability of high-quality medical services. Including through the implementation of new national projects. At the same time, a qualitative update of the medical personnel training system has begun: full distance education in medical specialties is being abolished, uniform format standards are being introduced, and criteria for assessing practical skills are being tightened.
According to Rector Andrey Eremin, Saratov Medical University has long adhered to these principles. Students regularly undergo internships with future employers, which contributes to rapid professional adaptation. The Career program provides individual career paths for each student, making graduates highly sought-after specialists.
The university's experience proves that the combination of theory and a practical component guarantees a high level of training for future doctors that meets the goals and standards set by the state.
