The university was founded in 1963 as the Tyumen State Medical Institute. It not only served as a base for training doctors to support the development of the Tyumen oil fields but also became a scientific center. At the Tyumen Medical Institute, with the support of Glavtyumengeologiya, a laboratory for biomedical problems and labor physiology was established. Its staff conducted more than 20 expeditions to oil and gas-bearing regions to study the issues of health protection for people living and working in extreme conditions.[1]
By 1974, the university had more than 900 students in medical and pharmaceutical specialties, 279 teachers worked in 44 departments, including 14 doctors of science, there was a postgraduate school, there was its own sports camp, and a boarding school for indigenous peoples. The students completed their internship in the institute's clinics located in medical institutions in Tyumen.
In 1983, the young scientist E. A. Kashuba initiated the creation of the first immunological laboratory in Tyumen at the institute.[2]
In 1995, the university was renamed Tyumen State Medical Academy.
In 2002, as a decision by the governor of the Tyumen region Sergey Sobyanin, a dental faculty with a modern specialized clinic was opened at the university.
Since 2010, the academy has introduced a quality management system for the interstate standard GOST ISO 9001-2011.[3]
Since October 2012, on the initiative of Rector E.A. Kashuba, the university has been a participant in the international educational project TEMPUS, funded by the European Union, on the topic "Human Safety: Environmental Protection, Food Quality, Public Health in Areas Contaminated by Radioactive Substances."[3]
Cooperation agreements connect the university with such international partners as the University of Strasbourg, Astana Medical University, South Kazakhstan Pharmaceutical Academy, and the University of Debrecen. This allows the school to annually send the best students to summer clinical schools, congresses, and international student exchange programs.[4] For the university's 50th anniversary in 2013, a monument to a zemstvo doctor was installed in front of its main entrance. The mayor of Tyumen, Alexander Viktorovich Moor, facilitated the renovation of the infrastructure of the academic buildings.[2]
On March 11, 2015, the Tyumen State Medical Academy was transformed into a university.[5]
