North-Caucasus Federal University (NCFU) is one of Russia’s ten federal universities, each of them standing out as a unique academic institution established subject to the special national EDUCATION project. The purpose of this was to create advanced innovation-driven comprehensive centers for training, research, and business shaping qualified staff meeting the world’s top standards.
North-Caucasus Federal University was established in 2012 as a merger of three largest universities – North-Caucasus State Technical University, Stavropol State University, and Pyatigorsk University for Humanities and Technology. And each of the institutions had gone a long way to build an outstanding history behind. Each of these was established at a certain point through the history of our country in order to meet the demand experienced in various sectors of the economy – in the Stavropol Region, in the North Caucasus, as well as all over the country. This means that the traditions and history that have been passed to NCFU are priceless as they come from basically every single area of human activity. However, it is not the research and academic achievement that we value best.
The General Medicine program is the core medical degree that forms the foundation for all medical specializations, with a focus on the development of clinical thinking. Particular attention is paid to the teaching of fundamental disciplines in the early years, which broaden students' scientific horizons. In later years, future physicians study professional clinical disciplines. To develop their skills, they undergo practical training in a well-equipped simulation center and at leading medical institutions and healthcare facilities. Within the framework of the General Medicine program, clinical practice is combined with research activities under the supervision of the university’s academic staff and practitioners
