Dear colleagues! Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on Teacher’s Day! It’s not just a profession, it’s a lifestyle. High requirements were always imposed on a teacher, because they are a standard, a motivator for students. Teachers of Kursk State Medical University live for their work, and are deeply worried about all their students. Many of our teachers teach in two languages. It is a special skill to be able to explain the complex educational material not only in your native language, but also in a foreign one. I am proud of the fact that highly qualified teachers work at KSMU – skilled specialists. More than 100 Doctors of Sciences and more than 500 Candidates of Sciences are among them. Every victory of our students, postgraduates is also the result of painstaking work of a teacher. This day we remember with gratitude the veterans of pedagogical work. Thank you for believing in us, for a trip to professional life, for love and dedication! Dear colleagues, your mission is truly sacred, because you combine the two most noble professions – pedagogical and medical. I wish everyone good health, prosperity, peaceful skies and professional success. V. A. Lazarenko, Rector of KSMU, Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Deputy of Kursk Regional Duma of the VII convocation, Honorary Citizen of Kursk
