The Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research places particular emphasis on student internships abroad, studying the experience of developed countries, and strengthening their knowledge and skills in an international academic environment.

Academic mobility is an important factor in providing students with new knowledge and practical skills, as well as establishing effective cooperation between regions and educational institutions, and ensuring socio-cultural rapprochement. Through such programs, young specialists broaden their horizons, develop the ability to think independently, express their opinions freely, and freely operate in different environments.
To this end, on September 15 of this year, 2nd-3rd year students of our institute in the direction of “Medical Work” under the guidance of Candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Medical Biology, Gofurov Nemat Nozirovich, arrived at the Kazakh National Medical University named after S.D. Asfendiyarov of the Republic of Kazakhstan as part of academic mobility and had the opportunity to undergo a week of internship.

The student acceptance ceremony was organized at a high level. They were solemnly welcomed by the Dean of the ShOM-1 Faculty Izmaylova S.Kh., Deputy Dean Tagirova R.T., and Associate Professors of the Chemistry Department Karlova E.K. and Begimova G.U. Such a warm welcome played a positive role in the rapid adaptation of the students to the new environment.

Acquaintance with the medical institution began with the activities of the university history museum.
During the excursion, the head of the museum - maxillofacial surgeon, former head of the dentistry department B.F. Amantaev gave students detailed information about the establishment of the university (1930), the tragic fate of its founder S.D.
