Why Kyrgyzstan is Becoming the New Hub for Medical Education
The scenario for medical education abroad is changing drastically. Now Indian students are turning to new and safer options instead of traditional countries like Russia, Ukraine, and the Philippines. The biggest name coming to the top in this trend is Kyrgyzstan. Kyrgyzstan’s medical education structure is rapidly evolving and becoming transparent and reliable. This quiet and stable country of Central Asia has emerged as a better option for Indian students in view of its systematic educational environment, India-friendly curriculum, and security. Students from Delhi, Patna, Bhopal, Raipur, Jaipur, and many cities in South India are now directed to the institutions of Kyrgyzstan. The biggest reason for this change in Kyrgyzstan is the modern medical college set up by Indian investors there. These institutions have not only modeled quality medical education, but They have also strengthened educational relations between India and Kyrgyzstan.
Over the years, the International Higher School of Medicine, located in Kyrgyzstan’s capital Bishkek, has emerged as a reliable and popular option for Indian students towards medical education abroad. The course is prepared in alignment with the National Medical Commission of India. The college is accredited with prestigious international institutions such as WDOMS, FAIMER, and ECFMG, which gives students studying here an opportunity to participate in foreign examinations like USMLE and PLAB. In addition, the institute also operates a program accredited by BAPIO (UK) for the preparation of MACP (a UK special medical examination). The admission process is straightforward and transparent, no agent or middleman is required.
Direct Admissions with Transparency
According to education experts, students should enroll under a transparent process by contacting the college directly, not through agents, to study abroad. Many institutions in Kyrgyzstan are now opting for this method and IHSM is one of the first ones to implement it.
This approach completely terminates the need for middlemen and provides students with a better experience. Not only academic facilities but cultural, for Indian students in some institutions established by Indian investors in Kyrgyzstan. Services of linguistic and mental health support are also being provided. It provides students with a self-sufficient and safe experience abroad.
