History of the university
Far Eastern Medical University was a must. Due to the lack of professional medical personnel, the development of he alth care in this part of the country in the early years of Soviet power was problematic. This has hampered the developmentinfrastructure of the entire Far East. At that time, there were relatively few medical faculties in the country, they were not able to provide qualified personnel to remote corners of the country, which included Khabarovsk.
Far Eastern Medical University was established in 1929. By decision of the presidium, it was decided to start building a higher educational institution in this city. Initially, the institute was housed in a two-story building of the former school named after Lenin, which housed a women's gymnasium before the revolution. Now one of the buildings of the Far Eastern Federal Medical University is working here.
Initially, the hostel was located on the top floor. In 1935, two more floors were added. The first 106 students started classes five years earlier. They had to initially face a lot of difficulties. The enrollment of students was difficult, as there were few among the local youth who had nine years of education. In the early years, local authorities emphasized that the number of students was significantly lower than the need for doctors experienced by the region.
Therefore, since 1931, a working faculty was organized, one of the departments of which was even opened in the city of Artem. It provided pre-university training for future students who initially did not have a completed secondary education and were not ready to immediately enter the Far Eastern Medical University. The need for a workers' faculty persisted until 1938, after which the situation improved somewhat.
Difficulties in the first years of the existence of the university were connectedand with a catastrophic shortage of teaching aids and the necessary equipment, the lack of a reading room. The base for the educational institution was the railway, regional and psychiatric hospitals, as well as a military hospital.
By 1935, most of the existing problems were solved. By that time, 23 departments were already working on the basis of the university, more than five hundred students were studying. In the same year, the very first graduation took place, 70 people received diplomas. The remaining 36 students who got into the first stream only completed their studies until the third year, becoming owners of secondary medical speci alties.
Currently, FSBEI HPE "Far Eastern State Medical University" recruits approximately two hundred applicants for one faculty every year. The university has a qualified staff of employees who are ready to transfer experience and knowledge to the younger generation. At the moment, there are three dormitories in the infrastructure of a higher educational institution, in which visiting students settle.

Reviews

Mostly satisfied are the students of the Faculty of Biomedicine and Pharmacy, who are engaged in distance learning (onindividual plan). The university provides such an opportunity. The period of study in this case is divided into two parts - a study and examination session and no less important independent work of students.
