List of universities

Until recently, the list of military medical universities in Russia included:

• Samara Military Medical Institute.
• Saratov Military Medical Institute.
• Tomsk Military Medical Institute.

But in 2010, these three universities were completely disbanded and remained only in the blessed memory of their graduates and in reference books.

The Nizhny Novgorod Military Medical Institute of the FSB of Russia was more fortunate: in 2007 it was reorganized and merged with the Institute for Retraining and Advanced Training of Personnel (IPPKS) of the Federal Counterintelligence Service of the Russian Federation.

In 2011, the updated university received the name FGKOU “Institute of the FSB of the Russian Federation (Nizhny Novgorod)”.

The current list of military medical academies after all the reorganizations and reorganizations looks very modest:

• Military Medical Academy named after. S. M. Kirova (St. Petersburg).
• Branch of the Military Medical Academy named after. Kirov (Moscow).
• Institute of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (Nizhny Novgorod).

School graduates have only one option left to purposefully apply for a diploma (and, of course, specific knowledge) as an army doctor - the Kirov Military Medical Academy (VMedA) in St. Petersburg. Its Moscow branch provides training in the following programs:

• additional professional education - already certified current workers with secondary and higher medical education;
• residency.

The branch is recruiting yesterday's eleventh-graders only for the secondary vocational education program "nursing" on 02/34/01.

The FSB Institute of Medical Sciences accepts medical students only by transfer. Candidates for admission can be students who have already completed at least four courses in civilian medical institutes in one of the specialties: “dentistry”, “general medicine”, “pediatrics”, “medical and preventive care”.

Military Medical Academy named after. Kirov

The university recruits not only cadets (for the budget), but future civilian doctors (for paid places). Training for both is conducted exclusively in a face-to-face format.

Cadets must comply with a number of conditions:

• accommodation at the academy during the entire training period;
• a limited number of layoffs to the city (in the absence of student debt and disciplinary action);
• fulfillment of the terms of the contract, according to which the graduate is obliged to work for 5 years according to the assignment of the Ministry of Defense (for the most part, newly minted army doctors are not sent to the capital’s garrisons, hospitals and military units).

During their studies, Military Medical Academy cadets are provided with state support: they are given seasonal sets of uniforms, sports uniforms, medical gowns and even briefcases with “full ammunition” - atlases, stationery and a tablet loaded with electronic versions of educational literature. Three buffet meals a day and accommodation in a block-type dormitory with double rooms are also free.

Cadets who did not serve in the army before entering the Military Medical Academy are assigned a monetary allowance (analogous to a scholarship in civilian universities) of 2,000 rubles, after signing the contract the amount increases to at least 14,000. Excellent students receive increased payments, their annual income is more than 270,000 rubles.

Contractors learn under different conditions. Along with tuition fees, they will have to provide for the cost of accommodation and food, since they are considered civilians and are not provided with a hostel.

Admission rules

The procedure for admission to the Military Medical Academy depends on the format in which the training will take place.

On a budget

The requirements are the same as for admission to military universities:

1. Age limit:
   • 16-22 years for those who did not serve in the army before entering university;
   • up to 27 years of age - for those serving under contract;
   • up to 24 years old - for conscripts,
   • up to 30 years old - for applicants to secondary vocational education programs. Age is calculated as of August 1 of the year of admission.
2. No criminal record.
3. Availability of Russian citizenship.
4. State of health. Determined on the basis of a medical examination by a military medical commission. Applicants undergo mandatory urine and blood tests, have an ECG, fluorography and are examined by a surgeon, neurologist, dermatovenereologist, psychiatrist, therapist, ophthalmologist, dentist and otolaryngologist.
5. Fitness level. To evaluate it, applicants undergo sports tests. Boys take pull-ups, 100 m run, and 3 km cross-country. For ease of comparison with the Unified State Exam results, the results are displayed in points. The passing minimum for each exercise is 26. A future cadet can receive a maximum of 120 points for the level of physical training.
6. Professional suitability. In order to determine it, socio-psychological testing is carried out. It is necessary to identify character traits that can help or, on the contrary, hinder a potential cadet from mastering the profession of a military medic.

Based on the results of the medical examination, physical training exam and psychological testing, applicants are divided into 4 categories of professional suitability: first stage (100% fit for military service); recommended for enrollment in the second place; conditionally recommended; not recommended (their verdict is announced individually).

To enter a military medical university, as well as a civilian one, you will need Unified State Examination results in chemistry, biology and the Russian language. Minimum scores with which you can count on admission to the Military Medical Academy:

• in the specialty “general medicine” - 185;
• medical and preventive care" - 150;
• pharmacy - 150;
• dentistry - 185.

When entering the Military Medical Academy (the only military medical university in Russia today that accepts school graduates), Unified State Examination scores play an important, but not decisive, role. Even with 100 points in each of the three subjects, an applicant may not be selected due to psychological or physical inadequacy. Nevertheless, with an annual competition of about 30 people per place, high USE results will not hurt.

Applications for admission to a military medical university are submitted by non-serving applicants to the military registration and enlistment office before April 20, graduates of cadet corps, Suvorov and Nakhimov schools - to the heads of the educational institution, conscripts and contract soldiers before April 1 - to the commander of the military unit.

The following are attached to the application:

• copy of passport;
• photocopy of birth certificate;
• a copy of the diploma or certificate (school graduates submit an extract from the report card for the 10th grade and the first half of the 11th grade);
• photo for documents;
• autobiography;
• characteristics from the previous place of study, service or work;
• Service ID of a military personnel (if available).

Military personnel who serve under contract in other law enforcement ministries submit the department’s consent to transfer them for training to the Ministry of Defense if they enter the academy.

For a contract

Admission to the paid department at the Military Medical Academy is carried out for 3 specialties - general medicine, pharmacy and dentistry. Contract workers do not undergo preliminary rigorous professional selection; they are enrolled based on a competition of Unified State Examination results.

Documents can be delivered in person (or through an authorized representative), sent by mail or using a courier service. The required package includes:

• mandatory state-issued documents confirming the required level of education;
• photocopy of SNILS;
• 6 photos in 3x4 format with a corner on the right;
• autobiography;
• certificate of preventive vaccination (vaccinations);
• photocopy of a military ID (or registration certificate for conscripts).

The applicant indicates personal data, the results of the Unified State Exam, along with the direction of study and other necessary information in the application, which, along with other documents, is submitted for consideration by the admissions committee.

Admission to the Academy girls

There are no gender restrictions for admission to the civilian faculty of the Military Medical Academy, but the academy began training female military doctors and paramedics only ten years ago, then suspended enrollment, but resumed it in 2017. Cadets can study in two programs:

• medical practice in ground forces (higher education);
• medical practice (secondary vocational education program).

The requirements for female applicants are the same as for boys: the criteria for competitive selection based on Unified State Exam scores and personal achievements, professional suitability, and health conditions are completely the same. There are minor concessions only when determining the level of physical fitness. Girls applying for cadet status take the torso bend, 100-meter dash and 1 km race.

According to the results of last year’s admissions campaign, 65% of applicants were not selected due to poor physical fitness or low Unified State Examination results. Due to unsatisfactory health and insufficient professional suitability, only 6% of candidates dropped out. The competition among female VMedA applicants is much higher than among male students.

Graduates of schools and colleges at the Military Medical Institute of the FSB have access to training at the vocational training level in the specialty “medicine”. The conditions for admission are the same as for military doctors - preliminary selection (but not by military registration and enlistment offices, but by state security agencies), medical examination, and professional selection. Admission is based on the average score of a certificate or college diploma. Major subjects - Russian, biology, chemistry.

Alternatives

To become a military doctor, you can make a roundabout tactical maneuver. Its essence consists of completing studies at a classical or medical university that has a military department with the appropriate specialty, and the subsequent transition to contract service. There are few such universities, but they still exist.

List of universities that have military departments and training centers with medical specialties:

Where do graduates work?

The issue of employment for graduates of a military medical academy or institute is decided upon admission: the Ministry of Defense is responsible for the distribution of army doctors. You must work under the contract for at least 5 years.

Possible duty stations:

• hospitals;
• Ministry of Defense clinics;
• army units and units;
• Bureau of Forensic Medicine.

Entering a military medical university is not easy; as an option for building a career, you can consider obtaining a doctor’s diploma from any specialized civilian university with subsequent (before turning 35 years old) concluding a contract for military service. But the future military doctor must be an officer, otherwise it will be possible to work only as a paramedic, medical instructor or nurse (nurse) - these are the positions available to privates, sergeants and warrant officers.
