Situation

The rector of Altai State Medical University Igor Saldan resigned on November 20, 2019. His contract with the Ministry of Health expired, and the head of the ministry, Veronika Skvortsova, decided not to renew it. Irina Sheremetyeva, who is a professor and former head of the Department of Psychiatry, Medical Psychology, and Neurology with Continuing Professional Education, who was Saldan's main rival in the rectoral election, was appointed acting head of the university. She became the former head of the university after a scandal erupted in the summer of 2019, when her employment contract was not renewed.

Several professors, including Boris Piven', Vladimir Kulikov, and other department heads, subsequently left the institute.
