Contacts
I am keen on studying and everything associated with my future profession. I like anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. Here, international students have everything they need, and that’s why many fears turned out to be unsound. I advise my Egyptian friends, who want to become doctors, to apply to KemSMU. I have a great many Russian friends, and we have a whale of a time together, communicating, going for a walk, and participating in various events.

During the first three years the only language of instruction is English. Starting from the fourth year, students use Russian during practical classes in clinical subjects and when communicating with patients. Mastering Russian is an important part of the learning process.
Every year students undertake an internship at the healthcare organizations in the city and get their first qualification of an advanced registered nurse practitioner as early as their third year of study.
The following plays an important role in mastering the program:
- The anatomy museum with a rich collection of unique exhibits
- The simulation center fitted with state-of-the-art equipment
- The learning management system (LMS)
Graduates are knowledgeable about patient examination techniques and well-versed in modern diagnostic methods and treatment technologies.
Learning Russian
The first introductory course is offered to applicants at the stage of applying to the university.
Starting from the first year, students begin studying Russian as a foreign language systematically – they take elementary, basic and advanced courses and study medical Russian.
Training is provided by experienced teachers such as philologists who are knowledgeable about the most advanced teaching methods.
By the fourth year, students can communicate freely in Russian with patients, collect complaints, interview patients, participate in professional communication.
KemSMU employs great teachers who literally live for their subject, and that’s why our lectures are very interesting. There are no unimportant disciplines in medicine, and each of them plays its part in mastering the profession. Most of all, I gravitate towards surgery and anatomic pathology. It is so great to have the opportunity to delve into our profession directly at hospitals. Even though we don’t perform any medical procedures yet, we can see practitioners doing it. This experience is invaluable.
