Vivat, doctors!
On July 4, in the large assembly hall of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University, a solemn Academic Council was held, associated with the 23rd graduation of general practitioners, the 14th – pediatricians and dentists, the 21st – clinical residents of the Faculty of Medicine KRSU.
28 years ago, in the same hot summer, the 1st enrollment for the newborn medical department took place. There were only 32 of them, the first future general practitioners. And the entire faculty consisted of one department of medical-biological and medical-psychological disciplines, headed by the only full-time employee at that time – head of the department and dean, Professor A. Zarifyan.
Today, the medical faculty, in terms of its scale, can safely claim the status of a university, having 37 specialized departments and laboratories, 326 full-time employees (56% of whom are doctors and candidates of science), teaching not one, but three specialties (medical science, pediatrics, dentistry) over 2000 students, as well as actively training residents and graduate students.
Taking into account this year’s graduation, the faculty gave to Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and a number of other countries there are already 2,483 general practitioners, 941 pediatricians and 1,817 dentists. Many of its graduates managed to successfully express themselves in medical pedagogy, science and practice both in the Kyrgyz Republic and far beyond its borders, incl. in foreign countries.
Recently, thanks to the Development Program of Slavic Universities, funded by Russia, the medical faculty has been successfully modernizing its educational base, opening new centers and laboratories, and purchasing modern medical equipment.
This year, despite all its difficulties, has pleased us with other successes. Educational programs «General Medicine» and «Pediatrics» have successfully passed national accreditation. Two employees received the academic title «professor». Many educational, methodological and major scientific works have been published, and a number of current scientific events have been held. The successes of the circle students are especially pleasing: at offline and online Olympiads, competitions, and conferences. They won one Grand Prix, 29 first places, 15 – second and 22 – third in team championships.
The current issue, including 174 medical clinic, 73 pediatrician and 71 dentist, it’s worth kind words: 50 young doctors have earned Kyrgyz and Russian diplomas with honors.
This is a great merit not only of students, but also of their teachers and mentors, a number of whom were nominated for awards with honorary badges «Excellence in Education», «Excellence in Healthcare», certificates of the Ministry of Education and Science, the Ministry of Health, as well as the relevant trade unions of our country.
