Institute History
At the end of the last century, in the city of Orel, on the basis of the existing state university, a branch of the Kursk Medical University was opened. A year after the opening, it was decided to transform the created educational institution into a medical institute of Oryol State University. As a result, the educational organization is no longer considered a branch. She became a structural unit.
Doors for the first students of the Institute opened in 1998. Their release took place in 2004. 32 doctors left the walls of the structural unit. They graduated from the specialty “General Medicine”. The university began to prepare pediatricians, pharmacists, and dentists later. For example, the specialty "Pediatrics" appeared in 2003, and the "Pharmacy" was opened in 2004.
