in order not to chase people for envelopes and stamps, you need to sell them in admission committee, photocopy documents also at the selection committee - these will be paid services. You also need to learn the culture of dealing with visiting applicants, dear gentlemen-employees of the Smolensk Medical Academy!

Dear applicants, do not enter this terrible place .. Here you will be subjected to cruel torture and draw out non-existent knowledge, because not a bit of respected, insolent professors, associate professors need only money from you, and your mental abilities are not of interest to them, unfortunately .. they are busy recalculating their beggarly salaries .. Shame and shame on everything that concerns medicine .. Teachers, not transmitters, do not pass on valuable clinical experience to students, but they make them sit aimlessly in their pants. There is no clinical base as such, training takes place "on the fingers", and not on modern equipment. You can forget about polite, respectful attitude and understanding. And Hindu and Caucasian students brazenly and unceremoniously pester our girls ..

Such famous university, With rich history, outstanding teaching staff, and not researchers and security - cattle! Most of all, the head of hostel No. 1, Abramova Elena Aleksandrovna, struck me the most - in a conversation with relatives of students she screams, is rude, does not look for solutions to pressing issues and problems, but creates them herself. Following her example, all other employees do not consider us human beings. For her, students are enemies, whom she does not teach, only looking for a reason for punishment - eviction or divorce for money. How can such an employee work with children! Especially her appearance far from pedagogical (leopard blouse with a deep neckline, "night" make-up). For whom is she creating such a vulgar image ?!

Smolensk Medical Academy is a cult place. If you are in the soul of a zombie, then this is your educational institution, I entered this year, I wanted to study at the Faculty of Medicine, but they immediately offered (hinting that there was no chance) for pediatrics, the competition makes you shudder. To be honest, these faculties are the same, only there are more girls. The group consists of 23 people and is divided in half at almost every seminar. And from the moment of my admission, a sleepless life began, anatomy is replaced by chemistry, chemistry by physics, and from the new semester, histology has also been added. We can only dream of peace! Buying any exam is not realistic or too expensive or too stubborn teacher - the only chance to somehow influence your grade is to participate in scientific conferences or the public life of the academy, while solving the problem with one science deteriorates sharply with another. The teachers themselves the best specialists whom I saw (except for the Department of Psychology). And they ask you not as a student, but as from yourself, "this is where all doctors have bruises under their eyes." But I like it, it's still a dream.

At the time of my admission, the university was called Smolensk State medical institute- 1985 Three faculties: medical, pediatric, dental. The number of places received was distributed accordingly: 300/175/125. It was probably difficult to enter, because out of a group of 30 applicants, 5-7 people remained, there were also beneficiaries, including those after the army, who accordingly went out of the competition. The curator of the 1st course was the deputy dean of the medical faculty, the legendary teacher of anatomy (in the history of the university), Sukharev A.I. Separately, I would like to note the honored teachers Podcheko P.I., Shevelev A.S., Evstafiev V.V., Borokhov A.I. In the 1st year I had to participate in amateur performances, which is very welcome. Club "Eskulap", dance floor of CSKA - separate pages in the cultural life of the academy. The sanatorium-preventorium of the university in the building of the pediatric faculty is a great place for rest and excellent nutrition on the territory of the university and the medical town as a whole. He received his diploma in 1993. I work as a doctor.

I want to tell you about the university where I studied, even more than the university, my alma mater, the place where I spent 6 years of my life. Unforgettable 6 years. I studied at the Smolensk State Medical Academy, SSMA. Everyone knows this university in our glorious city of Smolensk, and there are legends about how difficult it is to enter there. Students study there not only from Smolensk, but also from cities that do not have their own medical university - Bryansk, Kaluga, Tula, Kaliningrad, as well as a whole faculty of foreign students (mainly from Sri Lanka). There are three main faculties - medical, pediatric, dental. In addition, there are pharmaceutical, psycho-social, higher nursing education and faculties of foreign students and advanced training. I graduated from the Faculty of Medicine. During the training, classes were taught by professors, authors of many teaching aids, medical practitioners. After the 3rd year, most classes are conducted at clinical departments directly in the city's hospitals. Students have a unique opportunity to gain knowledge directly at the patient's bedside, observe the healing process, and, if desired, participate in it. medical university different from others, it is difficult and interesting to study in it. After graduating from the Medical Academy, I work as a cardiologist and often and with pleasure recall my student years.
