Modern development of medical university

The need for a systematic reformation of the educational process in the Russian medical universities is considered obvious. This reform has been started as part of the high-priority national projects. One of the winners of the competition between the universities implementing innovative educational programs is the Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry (MSUMD). In 2007 MSUMD started an experimental project which involves following activities: employee training, refurbishment of lecturing facilities, acquiring modern diagnostic and training equipment, development of innovative equipment, creation of fundamentally new academic and exploratory, scientific and clinical centers, creation of fundamentally new textbooks, manuals and programs, as well as radical update of the existing ones. This allowed MSUMD to already now show some fundamental changes in the system higher medical education.
