INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION OF THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM IN KAZAN STATE MEDICAL UNIVERSITY

In accordance with the decision of the Royal College of physicians and surgeons of Canada on July 12, 2019, the Internal Medicine Residency Program of Kazan State Medical University received the status of an accredited program for a period of 4 years. This status confirms that the Kazan State Medical University meets the highest international educational standards and applies the principles of continuous improvement of the quality of educational services. Accreditation of the residency program allows graduates of the program after passing exams to engage in medical activities in Canada and the United States.

It should be noted that the residency program of Kazan State Medical University was the first international program in the world (outside Canada), accredited by the Royal College of physicians and surgeons of Canada. Kazan State Medical University became the first medical university in the CIS and Eastern Europe who received institutional accreditation of the Royal College of physicians and surgeons of Canada in 2017. Thus, graduates of the KSMU "Internal Medicine" program who have fully completed the program and the corresponding exams (USMLE, MKSAP) have the same rights as graduates of medical schools in the United States and Canada.
