Representatives of the RUDN University Institute of Medicine won the Russian Assembly's national award in the Medical Sciences category. The awards ceremony took place during the 8th Professorial Forum "Science and Education: Development Strategies."
The prize is awarded for outstanding scientific achievements in education and science. Alexey Abramov, Director of the Medical Institute, received the title of "Dean of the Year," and Marina Khamoshina, Professor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology with a course in perinatology, received the title of "Professor of the Year." According to Alexey Yuryevich, the prize, for him, is primarily recognition of the high level of medical education at our university.
"Working at RUDN University is a new stage for me after a long period of administrative work in healthcare oversight and management structures: Roszdravnadzor and the Moscow Department of Health. Returning to my home university after 30 years, I needed to refocus and understand the specifics of medical education. It's important to note that I inherited a well-coordinated professional team from my dean and mentor, Professor Viktor Alekseevich Frolov. Together, we adapted to new challenges, such as the introduction of a continuous medical education system and specialist accreditation. Management decisions had to be made regarding reorganization and adaptation to new requirements in medical education, including creating a simulation center practically from scratch," says Alexey Abramov.
As the professor notes, the field of medical education is subject to constant legislative change, so the institute's staff work intensely, with no room for error.
"New changes are coming, related to mandatory work experience and targeted placements—all aimed at addressing the issue of staffing primary healthcare. Unfortunately, this problem has been untangled in Russia for over 10 years. At the same time, we continue to develop and, together with the entire university, are addressing the challenge of transforming into a research and educational institution. I would like to express my gratitude to the Rector of RUDN University for supporting the medical institute and, of course, to my colleagues, because the indicators we submitted for the nomination reflect the dynamic development of our institute over the past five years, in developing new areas of education and science. It is especially valuable that our achievements have been recognized by the professional community—the most objective and competent, yet also the strictest, judges. I believe in further development and new victories!" — Alexey Abramov.
