The necessary condition for the successful education of foreign students is their integration into the ethno-cultural space of the host country. In this article, the Depart-ment of Human Anatomy shares its own experience in organizing educational work with this contingent of students. First of all, it is necessary to ensure the unity of education and up-bringing. Human anatomy and vectors of its modern development, including problems of hu-man-nature interaction, anthropology and anthropogenesis, human genogeography and popu-lation genetics, somatotype variability and constitutional features, problems of biological and social evolution, are an adequate platform for discussion about possible ways of developing modern civilization. These problems are discussed with students with the involvement of lo-cal history and cultural material of our Republic. For preserving the authentic cultural code, the best of the students are involved in performances in their groups on the history and current problems of medicine in the countries represented.
