STUDY MBBS IN INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF KYRGYZSTAN
INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF KYRGYZSTAN (IUK) was created in 1993 by a special Decree of the
President of the Kyrgyz Republic № 74 that gave the university the status of international
higher education institution.
The International School of Medicine as a structural division of IUK was established in
2003. The main foundation for establishment of the school was a strategy of reforming Kyrgyz
education system and increasing competitiveness of domestic universities, which resulted in
the main emphasis of ISM administration and faculty being focused on the creation of a
modern dynamic educational institution that can provide high quality training and has
competitive potentials in the medical education market.
Currently, the International School of Medicine is a modern university with a comprehensive
infrastructure, and experienced faculty members that are nationally and some of them
worldwide recognized specialists in different areas of medicine, professional health
organizations and agencies.
Fifteen years ago the first 13 students were enrolled, whereas at present about 3500
students study in the school. Most of our students are citizens of foreign countries: India,
Pakistan, South Korea, USA, Great Britain, Russia, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Japan, Nepal,
Bangladesh, Turkey and Syria. This is why the language of instruction is English.
As mentioned in rector’s welcome message: “strong intellectual potential, close cooperation
with leading medical institutions, the use of modern technologies, and individual approach
to each student, all these ensure high quality of training and future professional
achievements of our graduates”.
Although the key to academic success of any faculty members and students is hard work the
main pillars of school accomplishments are three basic principles Equity, Quality, and
Transparency that were reflected in our school Mission and Vision and developed to the ISM
integrity code.
The ISM is registered and cooperates (our partners) with many leading international
institutions: The World Health Organization (WHO), An International Association for Medical
Education (AMEE), the Foundation for the Development of Medical Education and Science
(FAIMER), Institute for International Medical Education (IIME), the PhD Program in
Biomedicine and Health in the EU (ORPHEUS), and participates in several international
programs. Currently, 14 research projects approved by the Academic Council are being
implemented in the ISM. The projects of "Central Asian Network for Education, Research and
Innovation in Environmental and Occupational Health” and "Strengthening the Network of
Education, Research and Innovation in Environmental Health in Asia” were selected by the
Erasmus Plus Project.
Our alumni have been successfully passing medical certification exams in their native
countries along with countries such as the USA, Great Britain etc. Our graduates do their
continuous health studies as postgraduate trainees in leading institutions of North America
and Europe and practicing medicine all over the world.
