Today, expanding international cooperation and ensuring high-level academic and scientific exchange is among the key tasks for every higher education institution.

For this purpose, on June 30 of this year, professors from one of Turkey’s leading educational institutions — Sakarya University of Applied Sciences — Prof. Dr. Oguz Turkay and Prof. Dr. Sevki Ulema — paid an official visit to Abu Ali ibn Sina Bukhara State Medical Institute.

The main aim of the visit was to define mutually beneficial areas of cooperation and sign an official memorandum of understanding.

The guests were welcomed by the Vice-Rector for International Cooperation, Mr. Laziz Niyazov. During the visit, the professors became acquainted with the institute’s modern infrastructure, including the simulation center, “smart greenhouse,” modern clinic, and information-resource centers.

🖊 As a result of the visit, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between Sakarya University and BSMI. The agreement includes the following areas:

• student and faculty exchange programs;
• joint scientific research;
• experience exchange in master’s and clinical residency programs;
• implementation of modern methods in medical education and training.

📌 Currently, BSMI actively cooperates with around 15 higher education institutions in Turkey, strengthening its international standing and offering wider opportunities for students to deepen their medical knowledge.
