For the first time in KSMA, the Department of Family Medicine (SM) was formed in 1999 on the basis of the associate professor's course of outpatient therapy at the Department of Internal Diseases No. 1, headed by Academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic, Doctor of Medical Sciences, prof. M.M. Mirrakhimov. The assistant professor of polyclinic therapy was established on August 28, 1991, and was led by the Honored Doctor of the Kyrgyz Republic, associate professor A.O. Aytkulova.

On October 1, 1999, the course was reorganized into an independent department of family medicine, headed by prof. T.S.Meymanaliev. A great contribution to the development of family medicine in Kyrgyzstan was made by Assoc. G.K. Nanaeva. Under her leadership, new curricula were developed for the MS course for pre- and postgraduate levels, and the training of doctors in MS in Kyrgyzstan began. However, in 2004, the Department of Family Medicine was reduced to a course of polyclinic therapy.

 

In February 2017, in accordance with the needs of the country's health care, the independent department of family medicine was revived, and prof. N.N. Brimkulov. At the department, in accordance with international requirements, curricula were revised, new educational and methodological materials were developed (Competence Catalogs, Resident's Diary), modern approaches for monitoring and evaluation were introduced. Multifaceted work with students on the basis of a scientific circle, holding "open meetings" with alumni, attracting students to the organization of conferences and congresses with the participation of world leaders in family medicine led to a sharp increase in residents. So, in August 2018, the number of applicants for residency reached 56, which is 28 times higher than the data of 2015. The sharply increased volume of educational and methodological work required strengthening the personnel potential of the university in family medicine. In this regard, in September 2018, the department was reorganized into two departments, namely family medicine undergraduate and family medicine of postgraduate education.

 

Since September 1, 2018, the leadership of the Department of Family Medicine of Postgraduate Education has been entrusted to prof. Brimkulov N.N.

The main direction of the department is the training of residents in the specialty "Family Medicine / General Medical Practice", the popularization of the specialty and its development in all aspects - academic, scientific, professional-practical and social.

During the short period of existence of the department, the curriculum has been revised, teaching aids and materials have been published, modern methods of monitoring and evaluation are being introduced. Elements of telemedicine (remote lectures, online consulting in WhatsApp, etc.) are being actively introduced into the learning process. The department is actively implementing the postgraduate education decentralization program and presented the first positive results of practical training at regional clinical bases. Monitoring of the effectiveness of decentralization is being introduced with a visit to all regions of the republic.
