Samara State Medical University (Russian: Самарский государственный медицинский университет) is a public higher medical educational institution in Samara, Russia. It trains civilian specialists with higher education in medicine, pharmacy, economics, and the humanities, from general education institutions to doctoral programs. The opening of this university was preceded by the existence of the Faculty of Medicine of Samara State University (1919–1927) at the Provincial Zemstvo Hospital, which was closed due to lack of funding.[1] It is the parent university of the Samara Military Medical Institute (1999–2006) and Reaviz University (since 1993).
History
[edit]The university was founded in 1930 as the Middle Volga Regional Medical Institute (1930-1934), later renamed the Samara Medical Institute (1934-1935), Kuibyshev Medical Institute (1935-1939). It underwent significant reorganization in 1939, when the 2nd Kuibyshev Military Medical Academy (1939-1942) was created on its basis. After relocating to Samarkand, it was reorganized for the second time into the Kuibyshev Medical Institute named after D. I. Ulyanov (1942-1990), then - Samara Medical Institute (1990-1992). From 1943 to 1965 it was a single-faculty institute, from 1965 to 1990 - a multi-faculty one. Renowned Russian scientists—surgeon and clinical anatomist V. F. Voyno-Yasenetsky and microbiologist N. F. Gamaleya—were selected to join the faculty of KMI-SamSMU through a competition, but they were not hired. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at KVMA was headed by I. F. Zhordania, the founder of Russian gynecology.
Since 2019, the university's rector has been Alexander Kolsanov, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation (2023), and Professor of the Russian Academy of Sciences.[2]
