Poltava State Medical University

Poltava State Medical University (PSMU) is one of the oldest and leading higher education institutions in Ukraine. Its history began with the odontological faculty established at Kharkiv Medical Academy in 1921 — the first specialized academic institution for training dental surgeons in Ukraine. In 1967 the institution moved to Poltava. The university has operated under its current name since 2021. Today it trains more than 5,000 students, including 1,350 international students from 45 countries, across medical, dental, pharmaceutical, biological and health sciences programs.
