This medical school is currently ranked number 7 out of 46 higher medical institutions in Russia, acknowledged by World Health Organization.

Faculty of Medicine
Faculty of Pediatrics
Faculty of Pharmacy
Faculty of Medico-prophylaxis (Preventive medicine)
Faculty of Stomatology (Dentistry)
Faculty of Higher Nursing Education
Faculty of Preparatory courses (Pre-medical courses)
Some of the foreign students study medicine completely in English medium, and some others study in Russian language. The current Dean of the Foreign Students Department is Professor Stelnikova D.Sc., who is also the Head of the department for anatomy.
However, students who study in English medium also have to study Russian language to be able to communicate with local Russian people who have very little knowledge of English, and thus being able to communicate with patients for basic clinical training.
Faculty of Medicine
Most students have to undergo one year of preliminary course for one year, before continuing their undergraduate studies. General Medicine program lasts after 6 years.
The first academic year of the General Medicine course begins with the teaching of fundamental medical sciences such as medical biology, Biophysics, general chemistry and Organic Chemistry, History of Medicine, Human Anatomy, and so on. Because of the aforementioned, the course runs in a longer duration (a 6-year programme) as compared to General Medicine courses (5-year programmes) offered by other universities in other countries.
