Here, A. N. Kuchmin joined the scientific, pedagogical, and clinical ideas of Professor N. N. Savitsky. Having started his scientific activity under the guidance of Professor Yu. S.

After graduating from the adjunct program in 1993 at the Department of Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases of the Academy, A. N. Kuchmin defended his PhD thesis on “The role of salivary glands in maintaining homeostasis in patients with hypertension”. Since that time, he has been a senior resident, then a teacher, associate Professor, and deputy Head of the Department of Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases (for clinical work) since 2005. In 2003, Alexey Nikolaevich defended his doctoral dissertation on cardiac arrhythmias in patients with bronchial asthma. His research interests now include issues in rapidly developing areas, such as endocrinology, ultrasound diagnostics, and functional diagnostics. During his work as the Chief therapist of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, A. N. Kuchmin proved himself to be a competent Head of the therapeutic service of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, particularly during the armed conflict in Abkhazia and Georgia. A. N. Kuchmin’s talent as a clinician and organizer of clinical and expert work was also manifested in his leadership from November 2008 to 2010 in the Department of Therapy of the State Institute of Advanced Training of Doctors of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and since 2015 in his native Department of Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases of the Military Medical Academy named after S.
