General information

Center for Testing and Clinical Skills Development of I.K. Akhunbaev Kyrgyz State Medical Academy

In 2010, to improve medical education and develop clinical skills of students and residents, the Rector of KSMA issued an order to establish the Clinical Skills Training Center. This center became operational in 2011. In 2013, with the financial and technical support of the Swiss Embassy in Kyrgyzstan, the center was significantly expanded and transformed into the Center for Clinical Skills Development and Knowledge Assessment.

On November 28, 2016, by Order No. 231, the center was reorganized into the “OSCE Clinical Skills Development and Industrial Practice Centre”, combining the training center and the industrial practice sector. In 2023, the industrial practice was separated into an individual sector, and the Center received a new name – “Center for Testing and Development of Clinical Skills”.

In various years the Center has been managed by:

  • Candidate of medical sciences, Associate Professor Mambetalieva D.K. (2013)
  • Candidate of medical sciences, Associate Professor Nurbekova U.A. (2013)
  • Dr. M.B. Iskakov (2010-2012, 2014-2018)
  • Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor Mergenov A.E. (2018-2020)
  • Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor Niyazbekov K.I. (2020-2024)

Currently, the Director of the Centre is Ph.D. Zhailoobaeva A.T.

In 2021, the management decided to build a new building for the Center. The Capsule Laying Ceremony was held on January 14, 2022 with the participation of the Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic Edil Baisalov, Rector of KSMA Professor Indira Kudaibergenova, staff, teachers, and students. More than 240 million soms was spent on construction and modern simulation equipment of high level of realism for the amount of more than 183 million soms was purchased. The new building is equipped with modern simulation devices and control systems.

 

The official opening of the new building took place on July 3, 2024 with the participation of the Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic Akylbek Zhaparov, Minister of Health Alymkadyr Beishenaliev, Minister of Education and Science Dokturgul Kendirbaeva, as well as representatives of various organizations, staff and guests.
