The Faculty of Medicine maintains the prestige of an internationally acclaimed educational and research centre, in which 2862 students in medicine are currently being trained. The training is conducted in English. In addition to the modern facilities for theoretical training and the newly equipped classrooms, the practical training of the medical students is conducted in several university hospitals with high-tech diagnostic and therapeutic units, equipped with conventional and modern apparatuses. The students and the postgraduates have the opportunity to be trained at the largest complex training centre for medical specialists in Bulgaria – The Medical Simulation Training Centre at Medical University Plovdiv.

The Faculty of Medicine consists of 29 departments. The most recent one is the Department of Endocrinology (2020).

The main priority of the Faculty of Medicine is to improve the quality of training and to develop the syllabi in accordance with the European and Uniform State Requirements for medicine. That is why the syllabi and the curriculum are frequently revised. They are published on the university website in both Bulgarian and English. The Credit Transfer and Accumulation Systems of all the mandatory and elective disciplines have also been updated. The training in medicine gives the students the opportunity to choose between 27 elective disciplines so that they can accumulate credits from the first until the sixth year. The number of disciplines is increasing and they are of great interest among students. There are 17 extracurricular study groups, in which students can enrich their knowledge.
