The university publishes two scientific-practical journals — Orenburg Medical Herald (Оренбургский медицинский вестник) and Almanac of Young Science (Альманах молодой науки) — and holds utility-model patents including a mounting device for human eyeball dissection (developed with West Kazakhstan Medical University) and an elastic bandage model for jaw injuries.

The customer base consists primarily of medical education students (including both domestic and international applicants routed through the centralized Russian admission system), with secondary segments of healthcare professionals seeking continuing education and regional healthcare organizations in the Orenburg Oblast. The 2026 admission cycle drew 4,828 applications, with General Medicine, Pediatrics, and Dentistry the most popular directions; that year produced 282 medical graduates (19 with honors), 38 dental graduates (7 with honors), and 252 residency graduates across 45 specialties, with 247 residency graduates undergoing primary specialized accreditation involving more than 220 independent experts.
