From September 20 to 25, Astana Medical University is hosting 11 fourth- and fifth-year students from Xinjiang Medical University in Urumqi, China. Their week in Astana is packed with educational activities. From the very first day, the future healthcare professionals have immersed themselves in the university’s academic process, taking part in practical classes directly at the university’s clinical facilities. They are also gaining insights into modern approaches to medical rehabilitation.

Faculty members of the Department of Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine at Astana Medical University are sharing their professional expertise and demonstrating how specialists in this field are trained.

«Astana Medical University is one of the leading universities in the training of rehabilitation specialists. For us, it is important not only to share our professional experience, but also to create a space for meaningful international dialogue» says Natalya Slivkina, Head of the Department.

International academic mobility is about more than education. It is an opportunity to gain a new perspective on the profession, exchange experience and strengthen partnerships between medical universities in Kazakhstan and China.
