How to become a medic in the army. After medical school to the army
On the third Sunday in June, Russia celebrates Medical Worker Day. On the eve of the professional holiday of doctors, our correspondent visited the Kirov Military Medical Academy, where he found out why the Russian army needs a robot nurse, how future military surgeons learn not to be afraid of blood with the help of crying mannequins, and what the future of Russian military medicine is.
Without exaggeration, the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy can be called a unique higher educational institution. Only here doctors are trained for the Russian Armed Forces. Seven faculties, 63 departments and about 30 clinics are a potential that many civilian medical universities will envy.
Unlike civilian institutes, the academy pays great attention to classes in military extreme medicine. Along with studying generally accepted medical disciplines, students learn to work in the field, conduct military medical exercises and undergo internships in the army. The faculties where military doctors study are divided according to the types of the Armed Forces.
Future specialists from the medical units of the Air Force are studying in depth the problems associated with the effects on the human body of repeated overloads and lack of oxygen at high altitudes. The faculty also teaches methods of special monitoring of the health of pilots and a system for their medical examination.
The Faculty of Training of Doctors for the Strategic Missile Forces and the Ground Forces trains specialists in a wide range of issues. As a rule, its graduates become doctors of a military unit and are responsible not only for providing medical care, but also for the sanitary and epidemiological condition of the unit, as well as for disease prevention. Combat training is not complete without a military doctor - shooting, marches, and field trips always take place under his control.
The naval faculty also has its own specifics. Here, special attention is paid to the influence of deep-sea diving and increased air pressure on the health of submariners: a doctor on a submarine must be able to provide assistance in case of decompression sickness and in the event of emergencies associated with sudden changes in pressure.
In addition, all graduates of the naval faculty receive the qualification of a surgeon. A ship's doctor, whether on a submarine or on a surface ship, often works alone on long voyages and therefore must be able to perform operations on board. As a rule, this involves suturing wounds, removing an inflamed appendix, or opening an abscess.
The science of healing
The training of students at the Military Medical Academy is structured in accordance with state standards, however, the educational process of military doctors has a number of advantages compared to their civilian colleagues. First of all, this is an opportunity to study “at the patient’s bedside”. As mentioned above, the departments of VmedA have their own clinics. They simultaneously work to provide medical care to military personnel and members of their families and provide practical training to students.
These clinics are equipped with the most modern medical equipment, and future military doctors have the opportunity to become familiar with it during their studies. At the same time, students at civilian universities sometimes encounter complex equipment only after graduation.
Another innovation of the Military Medical Academy is the Simulation Training Center. Robotic mannequins, stuffed with sensors, depict various injuries and injuries. A special computer program, controlled by a teacher, displays changes in the functioning of the “organism” on diagnostic monitors. If the listener makes mistakes, then the “patient” begins to scream heart-rendingly in pain, die, and even splash red paint from the damaged “limbs.”
As the deputy head of the Academy for educational and scientific work, Major General of the Medical Service, Professor Bogdan Kotiv, told a “Defend Russia” correspondent, the use of interactive simulators makes it easier for students to prepare for practical medical work.
In addition to mannequins, classes also use models of individual parts of the human body, which are covered with specially treated pig skin, and also imitate the entire structure of the soft tissues underneath. On them, students practice a variety of skills - from intramuscular and intravenous injections to applying and removing sutures.
“Previously, it took some time to adapt, not be afraid to work with tissues and understand the limits of human pain,” noted Professor Kotiv, “And on simulators it is safe and comfortable to do this. The listener can repeat this many times. This is a promising teaching method, because repeated repetition without the risk of harming a living person allows you to consolidate skills well.”
Working with simulators is also one of the stages in the psychological preparation of a future doctor. In general, the process of its maturation has a complex, multi-stage nature. At first, the sight of blood, dead or living tissue causes emotional shock or fear in a person. They overcome it through systematic classes in which the student gradually becomes familiar with the structure of the human body and studies normal and pathological processes in the body.
Then the trainees receive primary skills in resuscitation, surgery, dressings, and anesthesia. At a certain moment, this entire complex of knowledge and skills forms in the listener a calm perception of a patient in a serious condition. After the third year of training, Bogdan Kotiv emphasized, the student is already able to provide medical care at a fairly serious level.
Diagnosis of "Warrior"
Along with studies, intensive scientific work is carried out at the Military Medical Academy. ZR talked about some of the implemented scientific projects with the head of the department for training scientific and pedagogical personnel and organizing research work, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Colonel of the Medical Service Evgeniy Ivchenko.
Thus, the Military Medical Academy continues to develop a mobile dental office designed for deployment to remote and hard-to-reach military units. The medical units of the Russian army have already received one such cabinet based on a KAMAZ vehicle with a trailer, but its trial operation revealed a number of shortcomings that were taken into account when building other dental complexes. In the near future, four modernized offices will be transferred to supply the troops.
Another development of the academy’s scientific team is new-style individual first aid kits. Unlike the well-known first aid kits AI-2 and AI-4, which contained anti-chemical and anti-radiation drugs, the new kits contain hemostatic and dressing agents. It also includes a new anti-shock drug, ibuprenorphine, which replaced the outdated painkiller promedol, which caused respiratory depression in the wounded.
As for promising areas, today the academy is developing an automated system for remote assessment of the health status of military personnel. An electronic module integrated into the “” combat equipment set will, using several sensors, measure the soldier’s body temperature, respiratory rate and heart rate, and based on these measurements, provide an answer about his state of health.
It is also planned to equip this module with a geopositioning system and connect it with the Strelets digital reconnaissance, control and communications complex (command tablet), also part of the Ratnik. At the same time, the development of a tablet for the head of the medical service is underway. On its screen, military personnel will be indicated by dots, the color scheme of which will indicate their condition on the “healthy-wounded-killed” scale. Looking at them, the military medic will decide where to send a team of orderlies.
In the future, the device for monitoring the condition of a serviceman will be improved to the ability to assess the psychophysiological state of a person on the battlefield. This system will allow the commander to decide which of his subordinates is most suitable for a specific task in battle.
As for today's medical research, the Academy's scientists have made several interesting discoveries in the field of treatment of traumatic brain injuries of a concussive nature. Evgeniy Ivchenko noted that the data obtained is the know-how of Russian military doctors, so he refused further comments on this matter.
Rush job
Together with the academy's staff, conscripts in the newly created scientific company at the Military Medical Academy are also conducting research. It includes three platoons: biopharmaceutical, medical and preventive and engineering. The first is staffed by graduates of civilian medical universities who today deal with issues of wound ballistics. Using ballistic soap and gel, they simulate injuries to soft and hard tissues. Subsequently, the results of model calculations will be included in the development of a state standard for assessing behind-armor contusion injuries.
“This is a very important area, which no one except the Military Medical Academy is working on,” emphasized Evgeniy Ivchenko. “In some cases, the severity of damage when a bullet hits a bulletproof vest may be greater than if this bullet had gone through.”
The medical and preventive platoon, together with employees of the department of general and military hygiene, is participating in research on the “Ratnik” combat equipment set. Among the scientific and practical questions are how long you can keep a walkie-talkie headset in your ear so that a bedsore does not form, how the soft tissues feel in the space under the bed, etc.
The engineering and technical platoon developed and presented at the “” forum the concept of a robot delivering medicines to the patient’s bedside. According to the project, the attending physician will make prescriptions for the patient via a computer, the drug terminal will sort the necessary drugs into containers, and the robot will pick them up and deliver them to the wards. The engineers of the scientific company also plan to develop a cleaning robot. Of course, this technique will not replace the work of junior medical staff, but it will significantly facilitate their work. In a combat situation, when every pair of hands is needed to receive the wounded, such robots will be in great demand.
The future of military medicine
One of the promising areas will be further work on the issues of psychophysiological support for military personnel, in particular, remote assessment of their condition. This is due to the fact that today many positions have appeared in the Armed Forces in which military personnel work with complex computerized equipment, however, from the point of view of their medical support, today, by and large, no recommendations have been developed. Work will also be launched on the issues of the presence of our military units in various climatic conditions, including extreme ones. For example, experts will study the possibilities of safe consumption by Russian military personnel of animals and plants living in different regions of the world.
Experts at the Military Medical Academy call telemedicine one of the main directions in the development of military medicine, when a doctor on a monitor screen will be able to not only look at the patient, but also see his electrocardiogram, ultrasound results or x-ray. In the distant future, when science invents ultra-reliable communication channels, military doctors will begin to perform surgical operations remotely using a robot. But this is still a long way off.
A military doctor is one of the oldest professions, the origins of which are known from the papyri of Ancient Egypt. This is a specialist in demand by the Russian Armed Forces equally in peacetime and in combat operations. Despite the lack of strict criteria for physical fitness, candidates for employment must have high intelligence, psychological and emotional stamina.
The labor contract stipulates that a citizen can be sent to hot spots to perform his duties. By signing the contract, the specialist independently agrees with this direction. A doctor cannot refuse a business trip.
Introduction to the topic
- prevention of diseases of soldiers and mass epidemics;
- control over compliance with sanitary standards;
- provision of medical care;
- organizing lectures with soldiers on first aid;
- conducting medical examinations;
- organizing the evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield;
- surgical treatment of victims in combat operations.
In general, we can say that these are control functions, preventive, and therapeutic.
Military ranks for military medics
As noted above, only an applicant who has the rank of lieutenant can take the position of a military medic. Further, the assignment of military ranks is carried out in accordance with the rules adopted for other categories of military personnel.
If the applicant for service graduated from a civilian university and completed military service, then the maximum rank that can be expected is sergeant. Regardless of education, with this title you can occupy one of the following positions:
- nurse;
- paramedic;
- orderly
In order to further advance in your career, you will have to complete your education at a special university to receive the lowest officer rank.
Today, the issue of filling vacant military doctor positions is very relevant. This is due to the fact that 8 years ago there was a wave of reductions in existing personnel. Thus, it was planned to reduce funding; instead, the problem of a lack of specialists for labor arose.
If you have experience as a military doctor or have studied at universities in this field, then share it with other users in the “Comments” column.
The popularity of the military profession is growing. This is due to a stable income, preferential pension and social guarantees.
Despite this, military universities are not as widely known as civilian ones.
The choice of university for future officers depends on which troops the graduate will later serve in.
In total, there are 75 military schools and academies in Russia.
Each branch of the military has its own specialized higher education institutions.
- Missile force specialists are trained at the Academy of Strategic Forces. The Academy is located in Moscow and is known for its excellent teaching staff;
- future naval officers study at the naval academy. It is located in St. Petersburg;
- If you decide to connect your career and life with the Air Force, then you need to enter the Air Force Academy. The university is located in Moscow;
- Graduates of the artillery academy will receive an excellent military education. Its location is St. Petersburg;
- future border guards and officers of other security service units are trained at the departmental academy;
- the only specialized university for officers of the Russian Space Forces is the Space Academy;
- Airborne troops officers study at the legendary Ryazan School, which has many famous graduates. It is located in Ryazan;
Each of the listed universities has qualified teachers, among whom there are many doctors of science and authors of famous scientific works.
The quality of education in any specialized university is at the highest level.
All this guarantees receiving a decent education.
Studying at military universities is also good because upon completion, the graduate is guaranteed employment.
How long does it take to study to become a military officer?
When receiving higher education, the total period of study is 5 years.
In the case of secondary vocational education, training takes 2 years 10 months.
During the period of study at a command university, the student receives a serious scholarship in the amount of 15 to 25 rubles and is provided with uniforms.
Admission to universities and passing the competition is carried out on the basis of the results of the Unified State Exam. At the same time, attention is drawn to strictly defined disciplines.
For example, for admission to military and humanities faculties, results in the Russian language, history, and social studies are important.
For medical faculties, knowledge of biology and chemistry is decisive.
At the same time, it must be remembered that the physical condition of the applicant is fundamentally important.
Only persons fit for military service and who have completed 11 classes of secondary school can enter military universities.
Submission of documents for admission is carried out through territorial military commissariats.
Where to study to become a military doctor
The profession of a military doctor is considered the most prestigious. Such education can be obtained at several universities in the capital and St. Petersburg.
All medical military academies have several faculties:
- senior medical staff;
- training doctors for certain branches of ground troops;
- training doctors for air forces;
- training of doctors for the fleet;
Some universities also have faculties for training doctors of foreign armies. The presence of such a faculty serves as further confirmation of the highest level of education received at the academy.
In general, military medical education is one of the best, if not the best, medical education.
Where to study to become a military lawyer
The question of where to study to become a military lawyer is a little simpler.
The fact is that anyone who has a general civilian higher legal education can become a military lawyer. You just need to meet the physical requirements.
Also, a military personnel who received a legal education at a civilian university can re-profile and become a military lawyer.
However, there are also specialized universities that graduate educational and political workers. Such universities belong to multidisciplinary educational institutions.
There they undergo training in various specialties:
- lawyer,
- military journalist,
- sociologist,
- military psychologist.
These are all civilian professions, however, training emphasizes the military specifics of these professions.
The procedure for admission and training is not fundamentally different from studying at other military universities.
Military doctors, or, as they were also called, military doctors, are military personnel who have a higher medical education and have the appropriate rank. At one time, it was Russian military doctors who made a huge contribution to military medicine, so Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov became the founder of military field surgery, the founder of anesthesia. During the Great Patriotic War, as well as during local conflicts of our time: the war in Afghanistan and the Chechen campaigns, Russian military doctors saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
On June 13, 2013, at the Central Academic Theater of the Russian Army, the next, 13th ceremony of presenting the award to the best doctors of Russia called “Calling” took place. This ceremony was hosted by People's Artist of Russia Alexander Rosenbaum and famous TV presenter Elena Malysheva. At the ceremony in the category “Military Doctors. Special Award for Doctors Providing Assistance to Victims of Wars, Terrorist Acts and Natural Disasters,” the award went to a group of military doctors of the Russian Ministry of Defense who, during the 1994-1995 counter-terrorist operation on the territory of Chechnya, provided the necessary medical care to the injured and wounded.
The award to military doctors was personally presented by the Russian Minister of Defense, Army General Sergei Shoigu. In his welcoming speech, Shoigu noted the importance of the work of military doctors, and also expressed words of appreciation and gratitude to them for their selfless work not only during combat operations, but also in peaceful, everyday life. On stage, the nominees were thanked by Russian officers Alexei Buzdygar and Sergei Muzyakov, who in 1995 themselves passed through the caring hands of decorated military doctors.
A group of military doctors consisting of the head of the hospital, Oleg Popov, as well as surgeons Alexander Drakin, Mikhail Lysenko, and therapist Alexander Kudryashov, as part of the 696th Special Purpose Medical Detachment, had to set up their military field hospital in the area of the city of Mozdok in December 1994. In those days, military doctors worked 16-18 hours a day, operations followed one after another without interruption. Every day, the personnel of the field hospital prepared hundreds of wounded Russian soldiers and officers for the evacuation and dispatch to the “mainland”. During the entire period of hostilities in the Caucasus, military doctors saved thousands of lives of Russian military personnel.
The fate of Dr. Oleg Popov and his colleagues is in many ways indicative and serves as an example of heroism and dedication, devotion to duty. Oleg Aleksandrovich Popov went through the entire first war in Chechnya, as they say, “from bell to bell,” being appointed in 1993 as commander of the 696th special forces medical detachment. It was the doctors of this detachment who promptly set up a hospital in Mozdok, where almost every third soldier wounded in Chechnya was able to receive timely treatment. For his excellent service in the North Caucasus, Oleg Alexandrovich was awarded the Order of Military Merit. But these are not his only military awards; the military doctor received the previous 4 military orders while providing medical assistance to Soviet soldiers and officers during the Afghan War.
In March 1996, Oleg Popov was dismissed from the Armed Forces: the severe concussion he received during the Afghan campaign in Chechnya worsened, and his health condition no longer allowed him to perform the duties of a military medic at the same pace. After leaving the Russian army, Oleg Popov - the only medical officer in the entire Armed Forces who was awarded 5 military orders - was a simple military pensioner for 11 years. However, in 2007, Popov was invited to his current position. Oleg Popov became the general director of the interregional public organization “Association of Veterans of the Military Medical Service of Russia.” Since then, veterans of the Russian medical service have been under his direct, personal care. He tries to do everything possible and impossible in order to provide his colleagues with the necessary social, medical, and sometimes material assistance.
If we talk about the Chechen campaigns, there are many soldiers and officers who will remember Russian military doctors with a kind word. One of these is Captain Alexander Krasko, who was “killed” 3 times in the Caucasus. Twice it was a sniper back in the first Chechen campaign. For the third time, already as a colonel, he was blown up by militants on the road to Urus-Martan. He still cannot forget his very first wound. Then a sniper's bullet entered his neck and threw him over the curb. This curb saved his life; the sniper could not finish him off. Later, a medic from their battalion pulled him out across the street. While rescuing the wounded man, he himself was seriously wounded, but was able to drag Krasko to MTLB. Just 15 minutes later the officer was already undergoing surgery in Khankala.
After this, Alexander Krasno was treated in military hospitals for quite a long time. He returned to duty only a year later, and in August 1996 in Grozny he was shot again. This time, the officer was evacuated by helicopter under heavy fire from militants. The medical helicopter received 37 different holes. But the military pilots and military doctors accompanying the wounded were able to deliver 5 seriously wounded servicemen to a military hospital on time. Since then, officer Alexander Krasko has celebrated his birthday 4 times a year. And he always raises his glass and says a toast to the doctors in uniform. And there are dozens, if not hundreds, of stories like the one with Colonel Alexander Krasko in Russian military medicine.
It was all the more offensive for many to look at what was happening to Russian military medicine in recent years. Recently, the new Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu noted that military hospitals are no longer going to be closed; according to him, the Russian Ministry of Defense has its own “road map” on this issue. “We don’t plan to close anything else,” noted the general, who visited the State Flight Test Center named after. Chkalov, located in Akhtubinsk. At the same time, Shoigu later clarified that part of the military hospitals would be transferred to the jurisdiction of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA). In particular, we are talking about those military camps and garrisons in which there are few military personnel and there is no point in maintaining a large number of medical workers there.
“Still, in many places our clinics seem to be good, and the equipment is wonderful, but the specialists are worse. Therefore, we will train new medical personnel at the Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg and send them, among other things, to Akhtubinsk,” noted Sergei Shoigu. Let us recall that the head of the Ministry of Defense decided to transfer military hospitals to the FMBA at the end of 2012. It was then reported that all transferred medical institutions would receive the status of “civilian”, and not only military personnel and members of their families, but also local residents would be able to seek medical care there.
The massive disbandment of military hospitals began on the initiative of former Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov back in 2008 as part of the reform of the Russian military medicine system. By 2009, 22 hospitals and several dozen clinics had been disbanded in the country, and the number of military doctors had decreased from 15,000 to 5,800.
The level of medical care and its efficiency in military hospitals in Russia and the USSR have been high since these institutions first began to appear in our cities. The quality of medical services provided here by military specialists was not questioned either during the existence of the Russian Empire or during the times of the USSR. It would seem that if an industry is glorious and brings obvious benefits to citizens, then it should be supported and developed by all means. But in reality everything is different. Experts never tire of saying that military medicine these days is not in its best condition. As a result of the reforms that have been carried out in recent years, the clear continuity from the construction of scientific, clinical, rehabilitation complexes to the output of a healthy citizen after going through this entire medical chain has been disrupted. And this is only a small part of the problems that military doctors face almost every day.
One of the main problems is the poor condition of the material base of hospitals and clinics. Many of them were built in the last century, and their wear ranges from 80% to 100%. It is clear that their restoration requires significant funds. According to Sergei Shoigu, today 72% of buildings have been in operation for more than 40 years, most of them need reconstruction and major repairs, in addition, there is an urgent need for new premises. Not only the dilapidated buildings, but also the quality of the services provided today leaves much to be desired, the Minister of Defense emphasized. The poor provision of medical units with specialized equipment is alarming. This is a rather serious issue, since the lack of necessary equipment means the impossibility of providing high-quality medical care in the field.
There are also problems with the provision of medicines. The need of military medicine for drug supplies last year amounted to 10 billion rubles. But only 40% of the required amount was allocated. The lack of sufficient funds in the budget for this item, of course, did not help improve the situation. A similar situation is observed regarding the financing of the construction of new medical institutions. Today, the percentage of security in construction and major repairs is no more than 30–40%. Hence the long-term chronic unfinished projects and the deterioration of the material base. Some medical facilities have not been put into operation for more than 10 years, which does not allow providing medical care in full.
As you know, approximately 17 regions of Russia have completely lost the medical facilities of the Ministry of Defense. This has led to the fact that approximately 400 thousand military personnel, as well as military retirees, are now forced to seek medical care in civilian medical institutions that are already overcrowded with patients. If in a number of regions of Central Russia military pensioners, theoretically, without any problems, can afford to seek medical care in civilian hospitals and clinics, then there are quite a lot of corners of Russia where they have to travel at least several hundred kilometers from their place of residence to a populated area with a suitable hospital .
But the situation will still improve. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the allocation of 1.4 billion rubles for the purchase of new medical equipment, as well as the replenishment of military hospitals with graduates of medical universities. In addition, the issue of putting hospital ships into operation should be resolved and a detailed analysis of the need and feasibility of reducing the number of military medical institutions in a number of regions of Russia should be made. All this cannot but please us.

The Military Medical Academy is the oldest among military academies and medical universities in the country. It was founded on December 18, 1798 by Decree of Emperor Paul I and from the moment of its creation bore the name “Medical-Surgical Academy”.
The Academy was subsequently renamed several times: in 1808 - to the “Imperial Medical-Surgical Academy”, in 1881 - to the “Imperial Military Medical Academy”.
The history of the Academy for more than two centuries has been immortalized by architectural monuments and buildings on which the best architects of Russia worked.
Soon after its establishment, the academy was elevated to the rank of “The first educational institutions of the empire” and until 1917 it combined the functions of an educational institution and the Academy of Medical Sciences.
In 1918, the academy began to bear the name “Military Medical Academy”, and in 1935 it was renamed to the “Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov".
The Academy simultaneously carries out 3 interrelated functions: educational, scientific and therapeutic-diagnostic.
The Military Medical Academy is the main center for the professional training of military doctors in terms of the quality of the educational and material base, the provision of clinics with modern equipment and the selection of thematic patients, where training is concentrated in the most knowledge-intensive and expensive medical specialties of the current nomenclature.
The Academy includes:
—4 central institutions of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: Central Military Medical Commission of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation; Central Pathological Laboratory of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation; Center for Quality Control and Certification of Medicines of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation; Center for Pharmacy and Medical Equipment of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
—5 centers: Center (educational, methodological, scientific work and training of scientific and pedagogical personnel); Research Center; Pharmaceutical Center; Clinical Center for Extracorporeal Detoxification; Engineering and technical center (operation and maintenance of medical equipment).
—4 independent departments: clinical department; Medical Supply Department; construction department; Human Resources Department.
—6 faculties for training military personnel and 1 faculty for training and advanced training of civilian doctors (on an extra-budgetary basis).
—Medical detachment (special purpose) (training).
-Medical College.
—63 departments (28 military, 35 civilian), of which: 17 surgical; 14 therapeutic; 3 preventive; 29 theoretical.
—4 support units: support base for the educational process; Military Medical Museum; editorial board of the journal (military medical); military band.
—Research Testing Institute (military medicine).
The Academy contains 13 positions of chief medical specialists of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. All officers and civilian personnel have a level of education and training appropriate to their position.
In accordance with the order of the government of the Russian Federation dated March 29, 2012, the Military Medical Academy operates as a federal state-owned military educational institution of higher professional education.
As an educational institution, the Military Medical Academy carries out undergraduate and postgraduate training of medical specialists for all branches of the Armed Forces, other law enforcement agencies and civilian healthcare of the Russian Federation, as well as for a number of foreign countries. The educational process is conducted in almost the entire range of medical specialties.
The system of training military doctors at the Military Medical Academy is rightfully considered the optimal model of military medical education in the Armed Forces of the country. This is a very labor-intensive and multi-year process: 6 years of study at faculties training of doctors with obtaining a diploma, then another year in internship at the academy with obtaining primary specialization.
Pre-graduate training of military doctors is carried out at the faculties of primary training: Faculty of Training of Doctors (for the Missile and Ground Forces), Faculty of Training of Doctors (for the Air Force), Faculty of Training of Doctors (for the Navy), Faculty of Training and Improvement of Civilian Doctors, Faculty of training of doctors (military medical specialists of foreign armies).
Postgraduate training is carried out at the Faculty (postgraduate professional and additional education), the Faculty of medical management, the Faculty of training and improvement of civilian doctors and the Faculty of training of doctors (military medical specialists of foreign armies).
The leading, historically established domestic principle of training doctors at the academy involves “bedside teaching” - the practical assimilation of elements of knowledge and practical skills of professional activity, primarily included in the category of educational programs “Own!” and “Have experience (skill)!”
An important component of educational activities is conducting all types of (educational and industrial) internships at the academy.
During the training process, cadets and students of the academy participate in a command and staff (tactical and special) military medical exercise under the code name “Frontier”, during which issues of organizing the work of medical units in receiving the wounded and sick, providing them with first-aid, medical and qualified medical care, practical skills are acquired to work as junior medical personnel in units and units of the medical service to search for and remove the wounded and sick from the battlefield, loading (unloading) the wounded and sick onto vehicles.
Up to 1000 people take part in the final exercise, conducted on the basis of field training in Krasnoye Selo, over 20 departments of the academy are involved, from which about 100 teachers, all faculties, representatives of military and civilian healthcare are involved.
The right to conduct educational activities in the field of higher professional education and issue state diplomas is granted to the Military Medical Academy by license dated October 5, 2010 No. 0231 and accreditation certificate dated April 11, 2011 No. 0893, issued by the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
Faculty of Medical Training (for the Missile and Ground Forces)
Military registration specialty of graduates "Medicine in ground forces". Provides specialized training in the specialty of higher professional education "Medicine" qualifications "Doctor" and military professional training to perform the duties of the head of the medical service (medical station) of a regiment (brigade) in the Missile and Ground Forces of the RF Armed Forces, units of the Airborne Forces, and other power ministries and departments.
Faculty of Medical Training (for the Air Force)
During their studies, cadets study the issues of medical support for flights and monitoring the health of flight personnel, assessing the functional state of pilots under hypoxic conditions, practicing practical speech skills in an oxygen mask under excess pressure, experiencing the protective effect of a high-altitude compensating suit, etc.
Faculty of Medical Training (for the Navy)
Specialized departments provide students with the opportunity to study issues of naval training, organization and tactics of the medical service of the fleet in peacetime and war, organization and conduct of medical monitoring of the living conditions of military sailors in peacetime and war, ensuring radiation safety at coastal facilities and ships with nuclear power plants, become familiar with the medical aspects of eliminating the consequences of radiation accidents at various naval facilities.
At the training centers, cadets practically practice issues of emergency rescue support, the physiology of naval labor and medical support for diving. Practical specialized knowledge is developed during naval and military internship, as well as naval and military practice on ships and in units of the Northern Fleet.
