The North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov (NWSMU), until 2011 St. Petersburg I. I. Mechnikov State Medical Academy (SPSMA), is a public university located in St. Petersburg, Russian Federation. The NWSMU is one of the oldest and largest Russian Higher Medical Schools. It is often called the Second Medical College in St. Petersburg because of its renaming in 1920, relative to Saint Petersburg State Medical University, which is called the First Medical College.
More than 35,000 physicians graduated from the university. Since beginning the international program in 1947 there have been more than 3500 international graduates from more than 50 countries. Currently there is a total student population of over 5,000. The university was established in 2011 following a merger of SPSMA with the St. Petersburg Medical Academy for Postgraduate Studies.
