History

The history of CSMU begins with the medical faculty of Tavrida University, which was founded on 10 May 1918. R. I. Gelvig was the first rector of the university and the dean of medical faculty at the same time. The first graduation of doctors had taken place in 1922; totally 523 doctors have been graduated during the faculty's existence. In 1925 the university was reorganized as a pedagogian institute and the medical faculty was liquidated.

Due to development of Crimea as a health resort, it was decided in 1930 to organize higher medical school here. The solemn opening of the Crimean Medical Institute (which consisted of one treatment-and-prophylactic faculty only) took place on 1 April 1931. The first graduation (97 students) occurred on 17 February 1936. The second faculty, that is pediatric, was organized in 1938. In 1939 the treatment-and-prophylactic faculty was renamed into the medical one.

In the time of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the university continued working in evacuation (at first in Armavir, then in Jambul, Orjonikidze, Baku, Krasnovodsk, Kyzylorda). In sum, since June 1941 until July 1944, the institute prepared 850 doctors.

In 1951 S. I. Georgievsky was appointed a director (subsequently a rector) of the institute (the university carries his name now). In the fifties the material base of the institute was considerably expanded. Since 1961 the institute begins preparation of medical shots for the countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In 1970 new rector, professor V. I. Zyablov was appointed. In 1978 a new faculty (Stomatologic) was opened. In 1979 the faculty of Postgraduating Studies was launched. In 1981 the institute was decorated with Order of the Red Banner of Labour. In the late eighties the Crimean medical institute was included into 3 top medical high schools of the ussr.^[3] In 1989 professor I. V. Bogadelnikov was elected as a new rector. Since 1992 the institute begins commercial trainings for foreign citizens, and since 1994 – for the citizens of Ukraine.

In July 1995 the Crimean Medical Institute was accredited on IV (higher) level with autonomy granted. On 8 December 1995 the institute was named in honor of S. I. Georgievskiy for his personal contribution for institute's restoration and development. Since September 1996 professor A. A. Babanin heads the institute. On 26 January 1998 the Cabinet of Ukraine decided to transform the Crimean Medical Institute into the university.

In January 2019, about 5 years after the 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea, the Cabinet of Ministers of Russia decided to merge the university with the Crimean Federal University.^[4]
