Planned by Catherine the Great herself, a medical higher education institution in the Crimea opened only under Soviet rule in 1918 as the Tauride University, and only after many years did the same KSMU in Simferopol, which future applicants dream of, take shape. After 2014, Ukraine considers this university to be an educational institution located in the occupied territory, and all its successes and achievements are questioned or even denied. However, they exist, and they are great, and this article will tell you how you lived yesterday and how KSMU lives today. Simferopol values its medical university very much, and therefore the local authorities do their best to help it survive in these difficult, but certainly creative times.
Then and now
Several years ago, KSMU Simferopol could rightly be proud of the created material and technical base, which allowed this educational institution to be in the forefront of the best universities in Ukraine. With the accession of the peninsula to the Russian Federation, leadership, of course, has already disappeared, since the country is verythere are many excellent medical universities, for which sixteen educational buildings with the Internet are not at all uncommon. The fact that the clinical bases for university departments were located in almost fifty he alth care facilities is good, but now their number has increased significantly. The clinic within the walls of the university is much better equipped with the latest equipment.
The library now has the opportunity to add to its 580 thousand volumes any publications that are in the database of other medical universities in Russia. There are also educational and sports base, and a house of culture, and a sanatorium-dispensary, and a polyclinic. Students live in the same five dormitories, and there is clearly not enough space for everyone. There is a question about expanding the housing stock. The educational process takes place according to the programs that are used in medical universities of the country. Now this is a structural subdivision of the Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, which was opened by the Russian government in 2014, and is called the Georgievsky Medical Academy. The work is carried out under the license of the Federal Service for Supervision of Science and Education.
Education
Education is continuous - from pre-university training (preparatory courses and preparatory department), through the main four faculties that train pharmacists and medical specialists (first medical, second medical, international medical and dental), and until the end of the training of residents, interns, masters at the faculty, which trains medical personnel of the highestqualifications, as well as at the faculty of further professional education - professional retraining and advanced training.
In total, KSMU Simferopol has fifty-three departments, including thirty-seven clinical departments, where specialist programs in general medicine, pediatrics, dentistry and pharmacy work. Programs in state and municipal management have also been introduced, where masters in he alth protection and management of a modern medical institution are trained.
Equipment
Residents are trained in one of thirty-two licensed speci alties. The educational process is provided with an integrated approach - scientific, methodological and organizational. For its successful progress, the departments of KSMU Simferopol are equipped with educational films, phantoms, dummies, diagnostic equipment, and a well-equipped training center serves the same purpose. In a word, the educational process at the medical academy meets all the needs of our time.
The teaching staff is very powerful, and therefore KSMU Simferopol collects reviews from both grateful students and university graduates who have found themselves in medicine. More than seven hundred specialists teach here today, among them about a hundred doctors of science and almost four hundred candidates. Seventy-seven professors teach 4560 students, almost two thousand of them are foreigners from forty-five countries of the world.
History
The structure of KSMU Simferopol was created for a very, very long time. Its history dates back to 1794, when the Empress decided to open the Medical and SurgicalAcademy in the heart of the Crimea - Simferopol. However, Catherine the Great failed to implement her project. Since the peninsula every year acquired more and more features of an all-Russian resort, the progressive public did not leave the dream of creating a medical university here. But only by the end of the nineteenth century, scientific and medical institutions began to open in the Crimea, and they existed on the money of donations and private fees. It was only in 1916 that the provincial zemstvo and the local self-government of Crimea were finally able to start creating the Tauride University, where the Faculty of Medicine was also supposed to be part of it.
Exactly - we were able to start. But the Faculty of Medicine was opened in May 1918, and the history of Tauride University itself began with its opening. At first it was a branch of Kyiv, but already in October 1918 it gained independence. The Department of Anatomy of KSMU Simferopol is the oldest in the academy, it was here that an excellent anatomist, Professor R. I. Gelwig is the first rector of the university and dean of the medical faculty. The department was the most popular, and in general, one hundred and nine people were immediately admitted to the medical faculty for fifteen clinical departments. The first medical graduates after graduating from the medical faculty began to work as early as 1922. However, in 1925, the Tauride University underwent a reorganization, and the medical faculty was abolished.
He alth resort
And the Crimea developed rapidly and seriously under the Soviet regime, more and more acquiring the appearance of an all-Union he alth resort. The need for specialistsphysicians and medical personnel of all speci alties and categories was huge. That is why in 1930, on the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Soviet Crimea, it was decided to open another educational institution in Simferopol - a separate medical institute named after Frunze. At the same time, a preparatory course was recruited, and since 1931, sets were made twice a year. The date of birth of this educational institution is the day when the first lectures on physics, chemistry and anatomy were read. KSMU Simferopol today celebrates its birth on April 1 - since 1931. In September of the same year, the university received the name of I. V. Stalin, which he proudly wore until 1956.
In 1932, the institute was headed by V. A. Targulov, all the successes in the development of the material and technical base, in the formation of a team of teachers, in scientific research are associated with his activities. The first years of the university's existence were not easy for students: they had to not only study, but also build. It was the student work teams that erected the first hostel, gym, club, as well as the most beautiful building in the city - the second educational building, the project of which was created by the architect Belozersky. In 1936, the first graduation took place - in February, about a hundred people received medical diplomas, among which eighteen - with honors. The second stream - July - ninety-four more graduates. Almost all of them were sent to work in different regions of Crimea. In 1938, one hundred students were recruited for a new faculty - pediatrics. By 1940, one and a half thousand students were studying at the institute in thirty-two departments, which were taught by twenty-threeprofessors, sixteen associate professors. And then there was the war. The state exams were held, and all the graduates went to the front along with the director and many students and teachers.
Wandering
In September 1941, the Institute was evacuated to Armavir, but the Krasnodar Territory was also occupied by the Nazis. The wanderings of teachers and students lasted almost a year, but the classes were not interrupted for a single day. The Institute visited Dzhambul, again in Armavir, in Ordzhonikidze, in Baku, in Krasnovodsk, in Kzyl-Orda. It was in this small Kazakh town that two graduations of doctors took place, who immediately went to the front. In total, from June 1941 until the end of the war, eight hundred and fifty new specialists were trained at the institute. Almost all graduates and many students, as well as more than forty teachers, served in the Red Army and Navy, in partisan detachments. Not everyone managed to return from the battlefields. More than one hundred and twenty people - alumni and staff - died.
A monument was erected on the territory of the institute in 1974, and a military surgeon still stands there, with his majestic figure reminding students of the unprecedented military feat that the country has accomplished. After the liberation of the Crimea in 1944, the Institute returned home. The occupation destroyed almost everything that was built - educational buildings, a club, a hostel, a gym, only ruins remained. The Institute needed to be brought back to life as soon as possible. Incredible efforts were made, and in the shortest possible time, the university staff did everything to start the academic year on time. The Medical Institute of Crimea overcame all the difficulties of both the war and the post-war period with honor.
Georgievsky
Associate Professor S. I. Georgievsky in 1951 was appointed director (rector) of the Crimean Medical Institute. The management did not make a mistake in choosing. It was Sergei Ivanovich Georgievsky who managed to start a new and most difficult stage in the development of the university. The post-war devastation still affected, the educational and material base required a thorough strengthening, there were no conditions for practicing medical science at all. What to say about student life - it was not yet equipped with even the most necessary. Georgievsky expanded the construction work exceptionally widely, and the students again participated in this entirely. The main building was built almost anew - with a Corinthian portico at the entrance, with new premises. The left wing was built, as well as the part where there is now a round auditorium for lectures, theoretical departments. It was under Georgievsky that the stadium, the house of culture, almost the entire second building were erected.
In addition to household chores, the rector was closely engaged in science at the Department of Pathological Physiology. In addition, it was through his efforts that the Institute's leading scientists who moved to the Crimea from central universities appeared at the Institute. Thus, their own scientific schools were founded here: biochemistry G. V. Troitsky, surgery E. I. Zakharova, pharmacology N. S. Shvarsalona, therapy by P. A. Tepper. Until 1970, the Institute developed and grew through the efforts of Georgievsky. Further, until 1974, he left himself only scientific work at the department, sincethe age has come when it is no longer possible to cover everything. In September 1974, Sergei Ivanovich was buried with honors at the Simferopol cemetery, and until now, graduates of the institute bring flowers to his grave almost daily. And in 1995 the Institute was named after him.
Clinic of KSMU
Simferopol is rightfully proud of one of the best clinics in the Crimea. This is a medical academy clinic. The indigenous population of the peninsula and numerous guests who came to improve their he alth willingly put themselves in the hands of inquisitive students who are under the watchful eye of all-knowing and all-knowing professors. Thirty beds in the surgical department practice laparoscopic surgery and use the latest medical technology.
Therapists have only twenty beds, where they observe and treat endocrine-metabolic cardiovascular pathologies. Bliskunov Orthopedics also has twenty beds in the same clinic of Simferopol KSMU: Lenin Boulevard, 5/7. In the polyclinic, endoscopy and functional diagnostics rooms are constantly visited, and there is also radiation diagnostics with a laboratory. Registration is by phone and online.
Chair and museum
As already mentioned, the Department of Anatomy was organized by the very first, in 1918, under the guidance of a student of the famous Lesgaft - Professor Roman Ivanovich Gelvig. In KSMU Simferopol, the Department of Normal Anatomy was headed by him until the reorganization of this educational institution. In 1931, work at the departmentresumed, and many prominent scientists began their journey here. Professor Bobin, for example, has published more than a hundred scientific papers, prepared three doctors of science and ten candidates.
And today all the laboratories belonging to KSMU Simferopol work very successfully here: histology, electron microscopy, histochemistry, cytomorphometry, macro- and microanalysis, vivariums. Symposia are held here, dissertations are defended, scientific articles and monographs are published. The most functional part of the department is the morphological museum. The expositions of the museum are located at 605, 7 sq. m, and the exhibition fund is more than one and a half thousand exhibits. And not only students of KSMU Simferopol like to visit here.
