The Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy

Yesterday, when we had our English lesson, the teacher said: «You are students of the Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy. And do you know the history of our Academy?»

«Yes,» said Semenov, one of our students. «I know that our Academy was founded in 1758 as a faculty of the Moscow University and in 1930 it was reorganized into an independent higher learning institution».

«You are quite right,» said the teacher. «The Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy, one of the oldest and biggest medical schools in Russia, was formerly the Medical Faculty of the Moscow University, founded by the great Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov. The University had three faculties: Philosophical, Law and Medical and only thirty students studied at these faculties. Among them were the first medical students: Sybelin, Veniaminov and Yastrebov. The students were taught by three professors of natural history, anatomy and chemistry, respectively. At that time the majority of the staff were foreign professors.The first Russian professor of medicine was one of the graduates - Professor Sybelin.
