Activity

Currently, the department is studying under undergraduate, internships, residency, magistracy and doctoral studies. The department is provided with a sufficient number of staff including professors, associate professors and assistants. The Department of Oncology supports the principle of continuity, so most graduates of the Department of Oncology are currently its employees. Every year, the staff of the Department of Oncology is replenished from among the employees of the “multidisciplinary medical center” of the Akimat Nur Sultan, who are mentors for oncologists. In the educational process, innovative training technologies are actively used, such as the method of reference signals, CASE-Study, PBL, CBL. The use of the standard of the standardized patient allows you to imitate the real clinical situation for the examination of students, interns and residents. To this end, 25 acts of new educational technologies have been developed and implemented in the educational process, which cover all topics of the calendar-thematic plan. Annually, educational and methodological manuals for students and interns are published such as “oncogynecology” in the Kazakh language, “mastopathy and breast cancer”, “malignant and benign diseases of the stomach”, “oncogynecology”, “Oncological gynecology” in English.
