Summer 2025 was quite eventful for the universities that are part of the Sino-Russian Association of Medical Universities.
The first to open the season was Ivanovo State Medical University (ISMU), where the summer scientific and educational school "From Russia with Love for Surgery" was held from July 7 to 18, 2025. Students from China, Belarus and Russia took part in the program.
The training sites included inpatient facilities of the Research Institute of Maternal and Childhood, the Clinical Cancer Center, City Hospital N 4, as well as the simulation class of ISMU. The School schedule was quite tight and included lectures, practical classes, work in operating rooms, as well as an extensive cultural program and sports events.
OSMU was represented at the School by Nikita OVCHARIKOV, a 3rd-year student of the Faculty of General Medicine. During the school he had the opportunity not only to attend surgeries, including cholecystectomy, appendectomy, liver abscess drainage, stopping gastric bleeding, and hip replacement. He also was even given the opportunity to participate in surgeries and assist (PDR, lung segmentectomy).
Nikita OVCHARIKOV noted the professionalism of the mentors – doctors and teachers willingly shared their knowledge, explained difficult moments, and gave valuable advice. The atmosphere was friendly and conducive to work.
After the working hours, every day students attended cultural events: organizers conducted city tours around Ivanovo and Plyos, showed museums and churches.
PS: We are waiting for news from the Altai State Medical University, where the Russian-Chinese summer school "Dialogue of Cultures" began its work on July 21
