Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (MSMU) is the oldest medical school in Russia. It was founded in 1758 as the Faculty of Medicine of the Imperial Moscow University (established In 1765 it had only three faculties – Philosophical, Legal and Medical to which first students were enrolled only 3 years later). After the reform of higher medical education in 1930 the faculty was reorganis
ed into the 1st Moscow Medical Institute (in 1990-2010 - Moscow Medicl Academy). From 1955 the school bears the name of Ivan M. Sechenov, the outstanding Russian scientist. Medical Faculty Departments of Anatomy and Clinical Medicine, Physical and Pharmaceutical Chemistry, and Natural History started functioning in 1765. New separate disciplines started in 1775 – pharmaceutical chemistry and practical course of pharmaceutical-chemical preparation of medicines. The historic core of the academy is the Clinic campus on the Bolshaya Pirogovskaya street, built in 1887-1891. The campus built on a plot of land granted to Moscow University's faculty of medicine by the City Duma at the Devichye (Maiden`) Field, near the Novodevichy Nunnery, is unique as a national medical complex and a monument of architecture. In 1897, the delegates of the 12th International Congress of Physicians in Moscow rated the clinics as the best in Europe. In the period of 1887-1891 in Devichye Polye (Maiden`s Field) a complex of clinics attached to Medical Faculty of Moscow University was inaugurated and among them – the maxilla-facial surgery and dental clinic. A new building within a Campus was given to the Research Institute of Pharmacology. Moscow Pharmaceutical institute was founded in 1932. Its Botanical garden listed in the “Botanical Gardens of the World” was founded in 1946. In 1958 the Institute was reorganized to the pharmaceutical faculty of the 1st Moscow Medical Institute. The onset of Dentistry (stomatology) as a subject taught in the Medical Faculty of the Moscow University is considered to be in 1885 year and is related to Dean of Medical faculty, N.V. Sklifosovsky, who pointed out the importance of this subject. In 1885 the Chair of Stomatology and maxilla-facial surgery was established. The Stomatological faculty started its functioning in 2000. There are more than 800 students studying now at this faculty. Over a span of almost 250 years this institution of higher learning has been Russia`s major centre of medical science and training of medical and pharmaceutical personnel. Since 1885 dental specialists are trained here. Russia's oldest medical school has since graduated tens of thousands of highly qualified physicians. It was home to the founding fathers of Russian medicine, scholars of world fame: N.I.Pirogov, S.P.Botkin, A.P.Chekhov, I.M.Sechenov, S.G.Zyibelin, G.A.Zakharin, M.Ya.Mudrov, N.V.Sklifosovsky, S. Snegirev, A.A.Ostroumov, to mention but a few. Russian medicine is proud of scientific schools founded by A.I.Abrikosov, N.N.Burdenko, N.A.Semashko, P.K.Anokhin, M.P.Konchalovsky, E.M.Tareyev, V.Kh.Vasilenko, P.A.Herzen, N.N.Elansky, L.S.Persianinov. The achievements of the University have won high public acclaim. In 1940 by Decree of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium the 1st Moscow Medical Institute was awarded with an Order of Lenin and in 1965 - with an Order of Red Banner of Labor.
