MEDICAL ACADEMY OF POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION, St. Petersburg Medical Academy situated at 41 Kirochnaya Street. It was founded in 1885 as Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna's Clinical Institute and renamed the Imperial Clinical Institute in 1896 to become the first advanced medical training institution in the world. It was renamed as the Soviet Institute for Advanced Medical Training in 1918, Soviet replaced by State in 1919, and named after S. M. Kirov in 1935. It was reorganised into the Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education in 1993. Based on the institute, an evacuation hospital was established during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45 with advanced medical training courses running for doctors operating in the field. The academy provides advanced training and retraining for doctors and nurses specialised in all clinical and medical areas. It has six faculties, 76 departments, 14 research institutes and 63 major medical institutions based on the academy, as well as the only Russian research institute of mycology, a number of research laboratories, and clinics. It also has branches in Zanevsky Avenue, Prosveshcheniya Avenue, and Avtovskaya Street. There are two memorial plaques on the facade of the main building, one bearing the original name of the academy and the other devoted to N. N. Petrov. Inside the building, there is a commemorative plaque to the Grand Duchess Elena Pavlovna, the founder of the institute, Grand Duchess Ekaterina Mikhailovna, the guardian of the institute, and E. E.
