In the nearest future, doctors, dentists, and pharmacists will begin their professional careers. On July 3, 2026, a graduation ceremony for international graduates of Astrakhan State Medical University — doctors, dentists, and pharmacists — was held at the Astrakhan State Theatre of Opera and Ballet. The celebration brought together 247 graduates from 24 countries and was organized with the support of RACUS GROUP. Director General A. Nutsalov personally attended the ceremony.
To the anthems of Russia and the Astrakhan region, the audience stood to welcome the graduates — yesterday's students, today's certified specialists. The culmination of the evening was the taking of the "Doctor’s Oath" and the "Pharmacist’s Oath" — a symbolic conclusion to years of study and the first step into the profession.
The young specialists were congratulated on their successful graduation by Rector S. Poroyskiy, Director of the Institute of International Programs O. Bashkina, and RACUS GROUP Director General A. Nutsalov.
"Today, a new chapter opens up for you — the path of serving people and continuous self-improvement," A. Nutsalov addressed the graduates. "You have come a long and challenging way, and now you are ready to carry the title of a doctor, dentist, and pharmacist with pride anywhere in the world. We are proud of each of you and are confident: you will worthily represent Russian medical education in your home countries."
The knowledge and practical experience gained will serve as a solid foundation for the graduates' professional journeys: in clinics, laboratories, and research centers across different countries, they will represent the level of training received in Russia and contribute to the development of healthcare in their homelands.
