Higher School of Medicine

Welcome to the page of the Higher School of Medicine of
NJSC Sh.Ualikhanov Kokshetau University!
On the website you can find out about educational programs, the history of the creation of the faculty, and human resources potential.
Vocation, education, psychological compatibility, culture and upbringing, appearance, selflessness, conformity of words and actions, observance of professional secrecy, humanism, citizenship and patriotism are important in becoming a doctor.
I believe that over the years of studying at our faculty, you will understand the meaning of the above factors. A doctor should become aware that his position in society is special, that he should be the first among non-medical specialists, because the lot of his profession is not caring about the creation of human hands, but about the Person himself.
Sincerely,
Director of the Higher School of Medicine
MD, Associate Professor Muratbekova Svetlana Kabdenovna
