Dagestan State Medical University

The programme and the setting

The General Medicine faculty lists a six-year, full-time Specialist programme and reports English-language teaching for medical students since 2018.

Clinical learning and academic experience

The faculty describes clinics, laboratories and an accreditation centre for practising clinical skills in simulated settings. Ask how those resources and hospital placements are scheduled for international students.

Teaching language and your qualification

Check the language of lectures, examinations, clinical teaching and internship for the exact route you choose. Russian for patient communication is a separate part of preparation, even where academic teaching is in English. Read the curriculum and language statement together.

If you intend to practise in India, review the current professional requirements early. Our guide to practising in India explains the questions to investigate alongside official NMC and NBEMS information.
