The Omsk Military Medical School imeni w,

msditsinskoye uchilishche imeni Shersa) is designed principally
to train feldshers (physicians? assistants) "%r the Soviet
Army; however, attached to it is a school w' cch trair.~ dentists
for service in the Soviet Army. The school, origiriAly located
in Leningrad, was evacuated to Omsk during the war. Moscow
steadfastly rejected the mare re_uests, made by the administra-
tive staff of the school, to return the school to Leningrad.
These refusals were probably prompted by the reluctance to
envisage a second evacuation should hostilities break out again.

arxd authoritatively, this was only military denaal school

(c) After the war, the course of study was 18 months (only three
months during the war) and consisted primarily of practical
work, with a fair amount of political study and a minimum of
military assignments. The faculty consisted of army officers,
some of whom also taught at the feldsher school, and a few
civilians. In general the faculty and the course of instruction
were quite good, and this dental school was considered better
than civilian dental schools for the same reasons that the
military feldsher schools were better than their civilian
equivalents.
(d) Upon completion of the course the students were given military
assignments but usually not within their previous units. Their
rank was not affected by graduation and their pay was not
necessarily increased. A feldsher who has become a dental
graduate from this sohocl will rarely, if ever, serve again
as feldsher but as dentist. In the Soviet Army most dentists
and doctors, unlike feldshers, are graduates of civilian
schools.
