Kazan Medical Institute is one of the largest and oldest educational institutions in the country. It originated, as is known, as the medical faculty of Kazan University, founded in 1804. The development of the activities of the medical faculty in those days took place in difficult conditions of tsarist reaction. The faculty grew and expanded slowly. During 102 years of its actual existence until 1917 the medical faculty had produced only 4493 physicians. The social composition of the students was typical for that time - children of the nobility, large officials and merchants dominated. Children of workers and peasants were negligible. Among the students there were almost no Tatars, Chuvashs and Mordovians. Suffice it to say that in 100 years, only 19 doctors of Turkic and Tatar nationalities were graduated.
