History
The Sverdlovsk Medical Institute was founded on March 1, 1931, on the basis of a special resolution of July 10, 1930, issued by the Council of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic. One medical and preventive faculty was opened in it, where 100 students studied.
The first director of the institute was Peter Spiridonovich Kataev (Пётр Спиридонович Катаев).
During the Great Patriotic War, at the SSMI, by order of the NKZ, an urgent restructuring of the educational process was carried out (Director of the Institute, Professor Vladimir Ivanovich Velichkin (Владимир Иванович Величкин)) and a single faculty was created that trained military doctors.
In 1943 the sanitary-hygienic faculty was opened and the pediatric faculty was restored. In total, more than 2,000 specialists were trained during the Second World War.
«Дело врачей» ：In 1953 the Sverdlovsk Medical Institute, like other medical universities of the USSR, suffered immediately from two repressive campaigns of all-Union significance, "Doctors' Plot" and the fight against Zionism. The university was looking for pest doctors and. Thus, the Higher Attestation Commission of the USSR rejected the dissertation of the assistant to Laryngology department of the Sverdlovsk Medical Institute, RB Pinus, on the topic “Maxillary sinus cysts,” indicating in her conclusion: “There is no cancer under socialism”. In 1953 a number of Jewish doctors were dismissed at the Sverdlovsk Medical Institute (as well as from medical institutions in the city). Attempts by some Jewish employees to replace surnames and Russian names were thwarted. So, M.E. Rutberg, an employee of the Sverdlovsk Medical Institute in 1953, received a reprimand with an entry on the card for replacing the name Merra with Meri in her passport in 1948 (the name remains the same in the party ticket).
The post-war period is a period of restoration of the national economy of the country, development and strengthening of the material and technical base of universities. During 1946-1983 the university was headed by personalities, scientists who made a contribution to the development of domestic science, strengthening the material and technical base of the institute. These include professor-directors of the institute: 1946-1952 – Serebrennikov Valentin Sergeevich (Серебренников Валентин Сергеевич), 1952-1962 – Zverev Alexey Fedorovich (Зверев Алексей Федорович), 1962-1983 – Klimov Vasily Nikolaevich (Климов Василий Николаевич).
