Today, Kursk State Medical University proudly held the landmark 54th Graduation Ceremony of the International Medical Institute. The assembly hall gathered future doctors from around the globe — Malaysia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Nigeria, and many other countries — marking the beginning of their professional journeys in a festive and inspiring atmosphere.
Graduates were congratulated by the Rector of KSMU, Professor V.A. Lazarenko, university leadership, deans, faculty and staff, as well as proud parents who traveled to Kursk to share this memorable moment.
🎤 A special congratulatory address was delivered by the Director of the International Medical Institute, Assoc. Prof. Mohamad Chahine, emphasizing the graduates’ responsibility, global mission, and the honor of representing KSMU worldwide.
“It is a great honor for us when our graduates join the global medical community,” noted Professor Lazarenko. “You carry in your hearts a piece of KSMU, Kursk, and Russia, bringing care and kindness to patients in your home countries. This diploma is a shared victory with your families who supported you throughout your journey.”
The ceremony traditionally included the official presentation of diplomas, the solemn Physician’s Oath, creative student performances, and commemorative photos. International graduations at KSMU are held twice a year, and today the university’s global presence continues to grow — with more than 6,000 graduates working in nearly 100 countries worldwide, confirming the high international recognition of KSMU diplomas.
