On December 3, 2025, Hermann Alexander Beyeler, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Belarus in Lucerne (Switzerland), paid a working visit to Vitebsk State Medical University.

The guest was welcomed by Vyacheslav Durnov, Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee; Mikhail Vishnevetsky, Head of the Main Health Department of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee; Alexey Chukanov, Rector of VSMU; Denis Lits, Vice-Rector of International Affairs and Organizational and Legal Work; as well as heads of the university’s international departments: Elena Sharyhina, Head of the Department of International and Interregional Affairs, and Anna Pchelintseva, Head of the Department of International Affairs.

In the prestigious international ranking (https://mosiur.org/ranking/), "Three University Missions" for 2025 confirms that Vitebsk State Medical University has maintained its high status:

1. 1st place among medical universities in Belarus;
2. 2nd place among all universities in the country represented in the ranking.

The ranking includes 2,000 leading universities from 112 countries worldwide.

This achievement directly reflects VSMU's efforts to strengthen international cooperation with educational institutions in Russia and abroad, thereby enhancing its scientific and educational potential.

On November 29, 2025, the gyms of VSMU became the center of international student sports — two competitions took place simultaneously, involving students from the Faculty of Preparatory Training Course.

The mini-football championship was contested by teams from the Lebanese community. The tournament was dedicated to a national holiday — Lebanon’s Independence Day. In a tense and exciting struggle, where every victory was hard-fought, the honorable first place was awarded to the Lebanese Cedar team.

On December 1, 2025, the Faculty of Preparatory Training Course at VSMU organized a career guidance meeting for students of Secondary School No. 21 in Gomel. During the presentation of our university, prospective applicants learned about the specifics of studying and the vibrant student life at VSMU.

The event clearly demonstrated that successful admission and high-quality training of healthcare professionals depend on making a conscious, motivated choice to pursue a degree at a medical university. Since the first days of training, VSMU has fostered a unique, practice-oriented professional environment.

In preparation for the republican contest "All-Belarusian League of Debates," a training seminar was held at the Academy of Management under the President of the Republic of Belarus on November 28, 2025. The seminar was attended by Polina Denisenok, Chairman of the Student Council of VSMU, and Egor Kostyukovich, Chairman of the youth wing of the primary organization of VSMU NGO “Belaya Rus”.

The All-Belarusian Debate League serves as a platform for developing critical thinking, public speaking, and argumentation skills among students of higher education institutions across Belarus. The competition aims to cultivate a future reserve of personnel for government agencies, organizations, and public associations by engaging enterprising young people.
