development and improvement of study programmes, in determination and

achievement of educational aims and outcomes. Faculty also conducts tremendous

work to enhance the efficiency of education.

Teaching staff of the university is actively involved in the system of quality

assurance of education. University attracts more qualified specialists among

teachers and prominent researchers with corresponding profiles and disciplines in

the process of development and formation of programmes.

students (3-4 time during one academic year), information centers (blogs and

forums of the rector, deans, hotlines, trust boxes).

University attracts highly qualified specialists from the leading organizations

of the Republic of Kazakhstan, which are clinical bases of the university.

University also has data for academic workload of the teaching staff in

residency in the framework of the study programme: for professors – 850 hours,

for assistents - 900 hours. Taking into account a fact that Astana Medical

University has 3 departments, which implement a study programme for this

specialty, educational disciplines are attached to departments.

Evidence:

Recruitment of the assistant of the department at university is carries out in

accordance with the requirements of the Decree №230 by the Government of the

Republic of Kazakhstan dated February 17, 2012 «On approval of the rules for

competitive substitution of positions of the teaching staff and research employers

23

create conditions for theoretical and practical work.

In the course of interviews, it was revealed that for the last five years the

staff.

2. Good material and technical base of the department and university for a

study programme.

3. Existence of a sufficient library fund of educational, methodological,

research, and clinical literature for implementation of the study programme.
