The Saint Petersburg State Medical Academy seeks to provide a rich, balanced, and broad foundation of knowledge about medical life and an appreciation of the diversity of cultural and social arrangements within Russia and around the world. Through teaching, scholarly activities, and service, Academy members provide an educational experience that encourages students to clarify their personal values and goals, to think critically, and to present a holistic conception of individuals, families, groups, organizations, communities, and societies. Through the study of both treatment and prophylaxis, and through the practical application of these studies, students are given an opportunity to identify and understand the health and pathology, appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness of the diverse elements in modern medicine, and participate more knowledgeably, and skillfully in their chosen careers and in society.
