In addition to the professional education, the authority of Academy has focused on the ethic and intellectual behavior of students. The unique profession of a doctor demands high moral standards, the nobility of soul, the depth of emotion to cure patients.

DMA supports this long-standing humanitarian tradition from the Soviet Union epoch and is still staying powerful cultural, social, scientifical and educational centre. Therefore, the “students unions” were created on the basis of all these deontological, moral and ethical roots in order to develop educational process and personal needs of the students. As a consequence numerous volunteer associations like “МЛАД”, “Надія”, “Паросток”, “Милосердя” are not only the mean of medical skills improvement but the perfect character building one.

It is impossible to imagine social life of Academy without debate and self promotion club “Душа” (supported by the specialists from psychological and physiological laboratory). The basic purpose of this club is to help former pupils to integrate into the student’s society, to adapt into new educational system, provide educational loading in the practice, and respond to the teachers’ requirements.

Students unions as “Літературна вітальня”, intellectual club “Що? Де? Коли?”, and the press club for students’ youth, (at local newspaper “Пульс”) are integrated part of social and cultural life of future doctors. Local dance ensembles “Ерідан”, “Дніпровські зорі”, folk choir, numerous groups of amateur performances are very popular among the students.

By all means such perfect features of the doctors’ personality as the talent, creative courage, culture, intelligence, education, charity are background for modern physician, being the key to his professional success and life standards in society. In addition, the highest aim of society is to provide decent health care service, to support high life standards for the citizens of independent Ukraine and the whole world.
