History:

    In accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Kyrgyz SSR No. 792-r dated December 23, 1963, the Faculty of Advanced Training of doctors was opened at KSMI.

    From 1963 to 1965, three associate professors and three assistants worked at the faculty, working in 6 areas in the field of advanced training of doctors.

    From 1966 to 1969, due to the increased requirements for advanced training of doctors and the need to increase their coverage, the referrals and staff of teachers were increased. The faculty has been improved in 13 specialties, the staff has been increased to 7 people.

   In 2013, due to the development of new technologies and their implementation in various spheres of life, it became necessary to reform the faculty by establishing a Center for Advanced Training and Continuing Education. Professor A.H. Karasaeva was appointed Director of the Center.
