      On Knowledge Day, about 2,200 first-year students began classes at the Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas medical colleges. This was reported by the regional Ministry of Health.

      Courses for future medical professionals are being held not only in Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas, but also at branches of the educational institutions in Vyksa, Kstovo and Lukoyanov, as well as on network sites deployed at the Gorodets and Lyskovo Central District Hospitals. Ceremonial events were held in all these units, during which students took an oath of allegiance to medicine and donned white coats.

      According to the ministry, among this year’s first-year students at the region’s medical colleges are 106 children of participants in the special military operation (SVO), as well as a direct participant in hostilities, a veteran of the special operation.

      Applicants faced a high level of competition when applying to the colleges. The most popular specialties were Nursing (with a passing score of 4.75), Pharmacy (4.70), General Medicine (4.47) and Medical Optics (4.14). Both educational institutions fully met their student enrollment plans for the 2025/2026 academic year in all programs.

      College leaders and teachers addressed the first-year students with parting words and good wishes. They emphasized the importance of diligent study, active acquisition of professional knowledge and skills, and continuous self-development.

      Vladimir Grechko, director of the Nizhny Novgorod Medical College, noted in his speech that the students made the right choice by choosing the difficult but noble profession of a medical worker.

      "You will study at one of the best medical colleges in the country. Our institution is known for the achievements of its students and graduates both in academics and in professional activity. You will be expected to honorably maintain the high standard earned by your predecessors through their knowledge and skills—those who took top places in professional skill competitions and actively participated in the public and scientific life of the city and region. You will be taking part in this serious work as well," emphasized Vladimir Grechko.

      Galina Trofimova, director of the Arzamas Medical College, wished the first-year students dedication and patience. She noted that the knowledge and skills students acquire at college should serve the benefit of patients.

      "First year at a medical college is a serious test even for the best-prepared students. The huge volume of new subjects, complex concepts and medical terms requires full dedication and patience. It is this period that lays the foundation for future professional competencies of a medic, and shapes the habit of regular learning and development. The main thing to remember is: difficulties are temporary; an interesting and important profession lies ahead of you—the saving of human lives," Galina Trofimova told the students.
