  Used to identify the new catalog record and distinguish the Centre's education activity from clinical sites.

• Contacts: Almazov National Medical Research Centre https://www.almazovcentre.ru/?lang=en&page_id=673

  Used for the catalog entry's English full and short names.

• Information on educational programs https://education.almazovcentre.ru/sveden/education/eduop/

  The official section shows specialist programs 31.05.01 General Medicine, 31.05.02 Pediatrics, and 37.05.01 Clinical Psychology, with program descriptions, curricula, syllabi, and academic calendars.

  Checked rows show study in predefined specialties and profiles, including new 2026 profiles under 31.05.01, but do not show a common core followed by free main-specialty choice.

  Used as the main map of current documents and as negative evidence against programChoice above 0.

• Information on program durations and disciplines https://education.almazovcentre.ru/sveden/education/eduaccred/

  The official table confirms a 6-year duration for 31.05.01 General Medicine and 31.05.02 Pediatrics, and a 5-year-6-month duration for 37.05.01 Clinical Psychology.

  For 31.05.01 it discloses numerous B1.V.DV blocks with medical, communication, digital, and sports-medicine disciplines, plus separate facultatives.

  This is the main basis for courseChoice = 2: choice is substantial and multi-block, but remains inside a fixed medical program with no free university-wide catalogue.

• Specialist program 31.05.01 General Medicine https://education.almazovcentre.ru/about_institute/programm/specialist_programme/

  The Institute of Medical Education page describes training under specialist program 31.05.01 General Medicine and states a 6-year duration.

  It also contains a separate link for transfer to specialist programs, confirming that program change is administrative rather than built-in main-specialty choice.

• Curriculum for 31.05.01 General Medicine, 2025 intake https://education.almazovcentre.ru/sveden/files/zik/UP_2025_nabor_Lechebnoe_delo.pdf

  The 2025 intake curriculum was checked as the main example of a 6-year medical specialist program.

  Together with the discipline disclosure on the eduaccred page, it confirms many B1.V.DV blocks and separate facultatives, but no minor, double major, or main-specialty choice.

• Curriculum for 31.05.02 Pediatrics, 2025 intake https://education.almazovcentre.ru/sveden/files/zis/UP_2025_nabor_Pediatriya.pdf

  The 2025 intake curriculum confirms a separate fixed Pediatrics specialty with a 6-year duration.

  The eduop page lists separate course syllabi, facultative syllabi, and practice documents for this program, which is not a mechanism for freely changing the main program.

• Curriculum for 37.05.01 Clinical Psychology, 2025 intake https://education.almazovcentre.ru/sveden/files/eiy/2._UP_37.05.01_2025_new.pdf

  The 2025 intake curriculum confirms the Clinical Psychology specialty with a 5-year-6-month duration.

  This checked program provides another fixed specialist example with no regular second field of study or interprogram major choice.

• Regulation on elective and facultative disciplines in specialist programs https://education.almazovcentre.ru/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Polojenie_ob_elektivah_spec.pdf

  The regulation governs elective and facultative disciplines in specialist programs.

  Used to distinguish electives that become required after choice from facultatives, which do not raise flexibility by themselves.

  Together with the B1.V.DV list for 31.05.01, it supports courseChoice = 2 but not courseChoice = 3 because no free university-wide catalogue was found.

• Educational organization documents https://education.almazovcentre.ru/sveden/document/

  The documents section contains the regulation on transfer, dismissal, and readmission for higher-education specialist and master's programs.

  The separate transfer regulation was treated as evidence that changing programs is an administrative procedure, not built-in specialty choice after admission.

• Regulation on transfer, dismissal, and readmission for specialist and master's programs https://education.almazovcentre.ru/sveden/files/eib/Polozheniye_o_poryadke_perevoda_s_ETSP_2023.pdf

  The document is hosted in the official section as the transfer and readmission regulation for specialist and master's programs.

  Used as a negative check against programChoice = 2: moving between programs is treated as transfer, not as standard main educational trajectory choice.
