Story of Kyrgystan and Details of Universities and Education System

On April 16, 1939, the Resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the Kyrgyz SSR was adopted, the first paragraph of which read “Open the Kyrgyz State Medical Institute in Frunze on September 1, 1939, with 200 students enrolled for 1 course.” The foundation of the higher medical school was laid by professors and teachers from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kharkov and Kiev. In 1943, the first graduation of medical students was held - 120 doctors.

The 1st Moscow, Leningrad, Alma-Ata, Tashkent and other medical institutes showed invaluable assistance in the organization of the institute. They provided advisory and organizational assistance, provided medical literature and directed teaching staff for permanent work at the institute. The departments of the history of the CPSU and political economy, normal anatomy, biology, histology, general chemistry, physics, foreign languages and others were organized, with 16 teachers employed. During the Great Patriotic War, the 2nd Kharkov Medical and Dental Institute and the Moscow Dental Institute were evacuated to KGMI. Wartime burdened the work of the institute. The terms of training were reduced to 4-4.5 years.

In 1943, the first graduation of students of our institute in the amount of 120 people took place, and all this year 250 doctors were released. After the end of the war in 1948 began the transition to a 6-year term of study. In the 2nd year, state transferable exams in anatomy, histology, physiology and biochemistry were introduced. In the 1950s, admission to the institute increased and the transition to the specialized training of doctors began. In the 1960s, a programmed control of knowledge using technical means was introduced at the institute. The scientific foundations of the study of disciplines were developed: educational elements, levels of their assimilation, graphological structures, etc. In the 70s, the medical institute became the leading in the USSR in solving problems of physiology, pathology, adaptation of the organism to mountain conditions. Relations with scientific institutes of the Soviet republics were developed on a qualitatively new basis: agreements on creative cooperation with many research institutes and universities of the country were drawn up. Joint scientific expeditions were conducted at republican research bases and laboratories under the guidance of scientists from our institute.

In the 1980s, the educational, methodological and research process was significantly improved. KGMI on the problems of studying mountain medicine enters the international arena, which contributed to the strengthening of integration scientific ties. Due to structural changes in 1996, by a decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, the institute was reorganized into the Kyrgyz State Medical Academy. September 25, 2008 by the Decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic of the Kyrgyz State Medical Academy was named after I. K. Akhunbayev. The administration is taking steps to transition the academy to the conditions of a market economy. A contract training system appears. There is a modernization of the educational - methodical and scientific research process. Since 2000, the KSMA has begun the introduction of new curricula adapted to international standards. Currently, the KSMA has medical, pediatric, dental faculties, a faculty for training foreign citizens and the Institutes of Pharmacy, Higher Nursing Education, Management and Public Health, Medical School. In addition, the Institute of Postgraduate Studies of the KSMA, the Research Institute of Fundamental Problems of Medicine and Biology and the Center for International Cooperation are functioning. The Academy trains doctors for foreign and neighboring countries, training is conducted in Russian and English. Scientific Research Institute of Fundamental Problems of Medicine and Biology and Center for International Cooperation.
