The Kursk State Medical University was founded in February 1935 according to the decision of the Russian Government and meeting the needs of the population in physicians. On September 1, 1935 the first 250 applicants were admitted to the medical faculty of the Institute.

All of them were united by the love of their alma mater, aspiration for its development and prosperity, providing effectiveness of all kinds of activity. They were unselfish and fruitfully obsessed in achieving the goals. On June 30, 1940 the first 186 students completed the course and became physicians.
