For the first time in KSMA the Department of Family Medicine (FM) was formed in 1999 on the basis of the docent course of polyclinic therapy of the Department of internal diseases №1, headed by academician of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, MD, prof. M. M. Mirrakhimov. Docent course of outpatient therapy was established on 28 August 1991 and headed by Honored doctor of the KR, Associate Professor A. O. Aytkulova.

On October 1, 1999 the course was reorganized into an independent Department of Family Medicine, headed by prof. T. Meimanaliev.

Multi-faceted work with students on the basis of the scientific circle, holding "open meetings" with graduates, involving students in the organization of conferences and congresses with the participation of world leaders in family medicine led to a sharp increase in residents.

Dramatically increased the volume of teaching work required to strengthen the personnel potential of the University in family medicine. In this regard, in September 2018, the Department was reorganized into two departments, namely the family medicine of pre-diploma and family medicine of postgraduate education.
