Starting from the 2026–2027 academic year, a new faculty for training military doctors will begin operations at the Avicenna Tajik State Medical University. This was announced by the university's rector, Mukhiddin Nuriddin, during a press conference held on January 26.
According to him, starting in September, 100 applicants — 90 males and 10 females — will be able to enroll in the faculty through the National Testing Center. Education will be government-funded (budget-based), and graduates will be eligible for employment within military structures and law enforcement agencies.
Additionally, the university has received licenses for two new specialties: "Medical Psychology" and "Clinical Biochemistry." Enrollment for these programs will also commence in the new academic year.
During the event, it was noted that medical simulators — devices or computer programs that replicate real clinical situations — are used for training doctors and students. They allow for the practice of medical interventions and complication management skills in an environment that is safe for patients.
The use of such technologies significantly enhances patient safety in real medical practice. Furthermore, simulators provide a safe learning environment for students, allowing them to make mistakes and learn from their correction.
Currently, the university operates 5 faculties, 63 departments (including 37 clinical departments), 12 centers and a Medical Research Institute.
It was emphasized that the university collaborates with 101 educational, scientific, and medical institutions abroad. In 2025, 307 students from 11 countries graduated from the university, which, as noted by the institution, demonstrates the international competitiveness of Tajik medical education.
