New Standards for Training Doctors and Pharmacists to be Approved in Kyrgyzstan » Gazeta.kg

The Ministry of Science, Higher Education, and Innovations has initiated the development of new state educational standards for medical educational institutions. The draft resolution has already been published and is available for public discussion.

Among the proposed areas for which new educational standards are planned to be approved, the following can be highlighted:

public health (bachelor's, master's);
nursing (bachelor's, master's);
midwifery (bachelor's, master's);
medicine;
pediatrics;
preventive medicine;
dentistry;
pharmacy.

The Kyrgyz State Medical Academy named after I. Akhunbaev has been designated as the base university for implementing these standards.

The update of educational standards is related to changes in licensing requirements for educational institutions that offer medical and pharmaceutical programs. In particular, amendments have been made to the requirements for clinical bases for implementing programs of various levels of education, including secondary, higher, postgraduate, and additional professional education.

These new standards were created within the framework of the presidential decree on the introduction of a state monopoly on the training of medical specialists.
