International Profile

Developing truly international profile is one of the SibMed’s strategic goals. For this reason, a systematic approach for training University community English language skills has been developed. Yearly, teaching staff is offered career development courses in English language.These measures allowed for developing our first English taught degree in General Medicine in 2015. Today, SibMed welcomes international students from 39 countries.Also, extensive language support such as Academic Writing courses, individual consultations for authors is offered for all SibMed scientists. Furthermore, for last five years number of publications in English language increased significantly and SibMed journal ‘Bulletin of Siberian Medicine’ was indexed in Scopus database. SibMed Research teams are actively seeking for international collaborations for their projects to further expand their professional network and research activities.
