The Department of Outpatient and Polyclinic Care of the Military Medical Academy celebrates the 40th anniversary

The Department of Outpatient and Polyclinic Care of the S.M.Kirov Military Medical Academy has come a long way from a non-staff, experimental training unit of the academy to a regular formation with its own clinical base, its own traditions and views. October 15 – the date of the first lesson – is traditionally celebrated as the birthday of the department. The department solves the problems of the pre-hospital stage of medical care and reflects modern trends in the development of military and civilian healthcare: increasing the role of outpatient and polyclinic institutions, expanding and introducing inpatient-substituting medical care, strengthening the practical focus in preparing graduates of the academy to perform their official duties as intended. The department contributes greatly to the development of the professional community and holding all-Russian congresses of specialists in the out-of-hospital stage of medical care.
