The profession of a doctor is one of the most respected and prestigious, and how could it be otherwise, if the health and longevity of almost every person depends on doctors.
If you are firmly convinced that treating people is your calling, and you are ready to overcome any obstacles on the way to your goal, if the pessimistic remarks of skeptics do not bother you, then choose an educational institution and start preparing for admission.
What exams do you need to pass to enter medical school?
Admission to medical universities in Russia is based on the results of the Unified State Examination. Universities establish biology and chemistry as core subjects for most medical specialties.
For some areas of training, instead of chemistry, physics or even profile mathematics, computer science and foreign language, for example, bioengineering, biotechnology or medical biophysics. These details must be clarified on the website of the university. But usually applicants for classical areas of training: medical and preventive medicine, dentistry, pediatrics and pharmacy - need high scores in three exams: biology, chemistry and Russian. In total, this is approximately 240 for a medical professional and 280 for general practitioners and dentists.
A special advantage in the competitive selection will be prizes and diplomas for participation in olympiads, various scientific conferences and competitions - universities add up to 10 points for all these achievements.
You can study at medical universities in Russia on a budget and for a fee. Prices can be found on the official websites of universities, but on average, those who have not scored enough points to go to the budget will have to pay from 80 to 400 thousand rubles for each course for their studies - the amounts depend on the direction of training and the prestige of the university. The most expensive is studying at medical, dental and pharmaceutical faculties, regardless of where the university is located - in the capital or in the regions.
What documents are needed for admission
If everything is in order with the USE scores, then for admission you will need a standard package of documents from an applicant of any Russian university. It includes:
- statement;
- questionnaire with personal data;
- certificate of complete secondary education (diploma of secondary specialized education);
- passport (original to be presented upon enrollment;
- photographs 3x4 (2 pcs, signed in pencil on the reverse side);
- medical certificate of the established form 086-y;
- documents for granting benefits, if any.
The results of the exam are stored in the federal database, to which the admission committees of universities have access, so no certificates are needed.
You can apply for admission in person or by mail. Some universities provide a preliminary electronic registration applicants who are going to send documents through postal operators, so carefully study the requirements of the university. Many medical institutes accept applications via the Internet; you must personally submit the originals only after enrolling in the first wave. All these details need to be clarified on the websites of universities in the sections "Applicant", "Applicants", "Admission campaign".
Where to study to be a doctor
You can get the profession of a doctor not only in specialized medical universities, but also at the medical faculties of classical multidisciplinary universities, for example, Moscow State University, St. Petersburg State University, RUDN University.
Choosing a medical university, you should be guided not only by the prestige of the university. Medical "towers" in Moscow and St. Petersburg are especially popular with applicants, respectively, the competition in them is much greater than, for example, in equally worthy Tomsk, Samara, Khabarovsk, Omsk, Kazan or Irkutsk universities. So it is worth taking into account the territorial factor - each region has its own medical university that trains therapists, surgeons, pediatricians, dentists, gynecologists, ophthalmologists, pharmacists - in general, doctors and specialists of all major profiles.
Going far away is worth it only if you want to get a rare medical specialty at the faculties:
- biotechnology;
- sports medicine;
- clinical, medical or special psychology;
- medical biophysics, biochemistry or cybernetics.
Such faculties are not available in all medical universities.
It will take longer to study than students of all other higher educational institutions - 6 years. This will give the right to work as district pediatricians or therapists in primary care medical care- in polyclinics, outpatient clinics, feldsher-obstetric stations. To get a narrow specialization, for example, a dermatovenereologist, a neurosurgeon, a gastroenterologist or an orthodontist, after a year of work, you will have to enter a residency. You have to unlearn from it for another 2 to 4 years - the period depends on the specialization.
The best medical universities in Russia
If you still have not changed your mind about becoming a doctor, it's time to choose an educational institution.
The leading medical universities in Russia today are:
- Moscow Medical Universities: First Med. Sechenov; Russian national research university them. Pirogov (Second Honey); State Medical and Dental University. Evdokimov.

Leading positions among other medical universities are consistently occupied by Kursk, Yaroslavl, Ufa and Ivanovo State Universities.

The highest (32nd) position in the general list belongs to the Kursk Medical University, it overtook even the First Moscow State Medical University. Sechenov (who has 34th place), North-Western Medical University. Mechnikov (37th place) and Siberian State Medical University, which in 2017 received the honorary status of a "core" university. At the same time, RNIMU them. N. I. Pirogov was not included in the rating at all.
The largest Russian universities, which have a medical field along with many others, turned out to be higher than specialized ones in the ranking - for example, Moscow State University ranked 6th, St. Petersburg State University - 17th, and RUDN University - 25th.
But still, the most important thing that those who decide to become a doctor need is not information about the positions of universities in the rankings and successfully passed the Unified State Examination, with the results of which you can enter a medical university on a budget, but the desire to devote your life to helping those who needs medical care, and often those whose lives hang in the balance. Therefore, it is important for future doctors to possess such traits as stress resistance, the ability to quickly respond to critical situations, and readiness for self-sacrifice. Being a doctor means saving people, giving hope and becoming a real guardian angel in the eyes of others!

To increase your chances of admission, take part in olympiads on the profile of the university or enter the medical class after the 9th grade. If you are already in your senior year, go training courses at the university you wish to attend.
I have decades of medical practice behind me. Not so long ago, a friend of mine asked me: “My son moved to the tenth grade. We want to go to medical school. university. Would you advise...
I have decades of medical practice behind me. Not so long ago, a friend of mine asked me: “My son moved to the tenth grade. We want to go to medical school. university. Any advice on how best to do it?"
After talking a little, I realized that everything is very bad with understanding the situation. When asked why medicine, I heard standard arguments - a good doctor under any government will live well, feed the people, that's all. And then I was bombed for a whole post.
Firstly, How can you be sure that your child will be a GOOD doctor? In order to become them, they need at least an above-average ability to learn. The amount of information in medicine is outrageous. Specialties are gradually divided into narrow-profile ones due to the huge amount of accumulated knowledge.
The very good doctor from myths and legends is a fairly adult person who has read an impressive number of books. If you rarely see your child with a book in his hands, then how can he read and learn all this?
Secondly, becoming a doctor is a very long process during which you have to eat, drink and live somewhere. Get ready for the fact that a young doctor will not earn money soon (in 10 years). With all my desire, I can’t figure out how to earn money in medicine without scoring at the same time to study.
Previously, it was on duty in hospitals and ambulances. Now you can earn something there only by working more than for a bet.
Third, it is expensive. Even studying on a budget, you have to spend a lot of money. 6 courses of a Russian university are very few. This is especially true in dentistry. To become at least an average doctor, you will have to pay for paid courses after a diploma. 15-20 tr. the usual price of a two-day course, which will tell you how to properly treat people.
They are most often led by practicing doctors who have nothing to do with medical schools. Plus, books, atlases, magazines…
Fourth, postgraduate education.
Medicine is a licensed activity. This means that the diploma is only the beginning of the journey. You need to get a license for some type of activity. And for this you need to get a certificate. And for this to enter the residency, and it is paid.
And if not paid, then he must work for 5 years where they paid for you. In general, everything is very difficult.
Fifth, requirements for a doctor have increased by an order of magnitude. Formerly a man who knew which pill for the head and which for the stomach was needed. Now you can google and find out for yourself. In fact, a doctor is needed for diagnosis, if you do not need to cut something off. A huge breakthrough in medicine occurred precisely with the advent of new diagnostic tools. Accurate analyses, ultrasound, CT, MRI… You won’t be able to cure much without all this.
Even everyone's favorite Dr. House, without an MRI of the whole body, could only assume lupus. It is not enough for people to feel and listen to them. They want quality results. Plus, the concept of medical error has changed a lot. That because of which Pushkin died now would be a reason for litigation with the hospital. The higher the level of medicine, the more requirements for a doctor.
At sixth need to a good place work. There are big problems with this. The state is strenuously optimizing our medicine. An experienced doctor can go into private medicine. Young people without experience are not needed there.
Seventh, constant changes in the rules of the game. At first there was no internship. Then she appeared. Since this year, she's gone again. Sometimes a pediatrician can get an adult specialty, sometimes he cannot. Either maxillofacial surgery for dentists, or for the medical faculty.
Well, what was done to graduates this year without warning is worthy of a separate post marked 18+. What will happen tomorrow is a mystery to everyone. You can not do it this way.
Eighth ethnoscience. Sometimes it seems that about 70% of people are latent idiots. Heal yourself or your child to death? Easily. Just listen to your neighbor and don't trust the doctors. Even an adequate-looking person can surprise. But this has apparently always been the case. In Bulgakov's story "Morphine" the theme is perfectly revealed.
In the ninth It is very difficult to confirm a diploma abroad. IN English speaking countries sometimes it's easier to unlearn. In European countries it is easier, but not by much. Yes, and the emphasis is not good. You would also trust a doctor less, for example, with an Uzbek one.
Well, the last point. If we discard all emotions and forget about Hippocrates, then the prospects for medicine in the Russian Federation are sad. The population of the country according to the forecast by 2050 will be 132 million people.
That is, the number of consumers of medical services will decrease. Perhaps people will spend more on their health, but the state is gradually reducing funding. Therefore, it is far from a fact that there will be more money in Russian medicine.
There is an opinion in medical circles that a deliberate genocide of pensioners is now taking place. There is no money for their pensions and is not expected. This means that it is easier to reduce the quantity. Nothing personal.
Conclusion.
Medicine in Russia is inferior to many professions in terms of the ratio of effort / result. There is no easy money in it. There are few high salaries and you still need to work well there, even if you are the son of a deputy. There are many wonderful professions where there is no duty, blood, tears and aggression.
Where 5 years is enough to start earning. I can understand Americans who put in all their youth to become a doctor. It will pay off there. But in order to become a doctor in our country, you probably really need a vocation for this.
When you realize that you don’t want to be anyone else and there is something more than money. They come to this on their own. Don't force your kids to become doctors. It's just stupid.
