OMSK STATE MEDICAL ACADEMY
Russian Federation has always been a leader in world medical
education. Nowadays a number of Russian Medical Universities are in
top fifty Universities according to the UNESCO ratings. The ratings
are based on three criteria: quality of teaching staff, quality of
education and international recognition. For example Moscow
Medical Academy has the 2nd place in this rating. Thus, the quality of
Russian medical education goes without saying.
There are more than 40 medical academies, universities and
institutions spread all over our vast country.
Omsk State Medical Academy (OSMA) was founded as the
Medical Faculty of Siberian Institute of Veterinary and Zoology in
1920; the faculty was reorganized into the West-Siberian State
Medical Institute in 1921. It was renamed into Omsk State Medical
Institute in 1925 and into Omsk State Medical Academy in 1994. Now
more than 40.000 graduates of OSMA are working as doctors in our
country and abroad. At the moment over 4500 students are studying at
5 faculties: Medical, Pediatric, Stomatological, Pharmaceutical and
the Faculty of Preventive Medicine.
Our Academy takes an active part in cooperation with educational
institutions and research community of West European countries, the
United States and some Asian countries. It is engaged in TEMPUS IV
Project. Tempus is the European Union programme which supports the
modernisation of higher education, mainly through university cooperation
projects. In addition to promoting cooperation between institutions,
Tempus also encourage a people-to-people approach. Tempus provides
support to consortia of institutions composed mainly of universities or
university associations. The Tempus programme is implemented in close
coordination with the Erasmus Mundus programme which provides
scholarships to students allowing them to participate in top-level Master
courses and Doctorate programmes outside the EU.
67 Chairs provide the teaching process in the Academy. 73% of
the staff has an academic degree. Their innovative work has shaped
many of the Academy’s most successful courses and programs.
