About Lithuanian University of Health Sciences
The Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU) was created in 2010 when the Kaunas University of Medicine and the Lithuanian Veterinary Academy merged. Both trace their history to the medical faculty of the University of Lithuania, which opened in Kaunas in 1922. Today LSMU is Lithuania's largest institution for biomedical education and research, with a Medical Academy and a Veterinary Academy and seven faculties.
Its main teaching hospital, the Hospital of LSMU Kaunas Clinics, is the largest clinical practice base in the country, and students also train at LSMU Kaunas Hospital and veterinary clinics. The Faculty of Nursing is one of five WHO collaborating centres in Europe, and the Institute of Health Research is a WHO collaborating centre for chronic disease prevention. LSMU says its medical graduates can sit the USMLE and the UK's PLAB.
