Chirchik Branch
--
Chirchik, Tashkent Region, Uzbekistan 

Global Medical Education

The Chirchik Branch of Tashkent State Medical Academy operates as a regional clinical and educational extension of the main academy in Tashkent. While the parent institution was founded in 1931, the Chirchik branch primarily serves to provide hands-on clinical training and practical healthcare education, leveraging local hospitals and medical infrastructure. It is part of Uzbekistan’s national effort to decentralize medical education and strengthen rural healthcare capacity. As of 2026, the branch does not independently offer a full 6-year MBBS program for international students; instead, it hosts clinical rotations (Years 4–6) for students enrolled at the main TSMA campus. The branch benefits from proximity to Chirchik’s municipal hospitals and a quieter, focused learning environment.

Recognitions

TSMA is listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS) and recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Its MBBS degree is eligible for FMGE/NExT screening in India, provided the student’s admission year is included in the National Medical Commission (NMC)’s approved list.

MBBS Education

TSMA offers a 6-year MBBS program in English, structured into 2 years of pre-clinical sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry), 3 years of clinical rotations across core specialties, and 1 year of compulsory internship. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on patient interaction from early years, problem-based learning, and rigorous internal assessments to prepare students for FMGE/NExT, USMLE, and other licensing exams.

Faculties

The branch does not have independent faculties. It operates under the academic and administrative oversight of TSMA Tashkent’s Faculty of General Medicine, functioning as a satellite clinical campus focused on applied medical education.

Clinical Facilities

Students train at Chirchik Central City Hospital and affiliated outpatient clinics, gaining exposure to diverse patient cases in a semi-urban setting. While smaller than Tashkent’s republican hospitals, these facilities offer high patient-to-student ratios and personalized supervision—ideal for developing core clinical skills.

Students Facilities

Accommodation and support services are coordinated through TSMA Tashkent. Students rotating to Chirchik receive logistical assistance, including temporary hostel arrangements and transport coordination. Academic mentoring continues via TSMA faculty, with periodic visits from Tashkent-based instructors.

Campus Facilities

The Chirchik campus includes lecture halls, basic simulation labs, and administrative offices integrated within or near the city hospital. While modest compared to the main campus, facilities are functional and focused on clinical learning. The town offers affordable living, quiet surroundings, and a distraction-free study environment.
