Medicine (cipher 6B10113, educational-program group BM086) is a 6-year, 360-credit programme at NCJSC "Karaganda Medical University" that trains physicians through theoretical instruction, professional practices, experimental research, and intermediate and final attestation. The university uses simulation technology -- mannequins, standardized patients, virtual-reality tools and computer simulations of clinical situations -- as part of training.

The programme's own description states that instruction is conducted in the state (Kazakh) and Russian languages, and that "the School of Medicine offers the development of the curriculum in English-speaking and multilingual groups", i.e. a distinct English-medium track exists alongside the Kazakh/Russian one. Graduates receive a state-issued Master of Medicine degree plus a certificate of completion of internship, reflecting Kazakhstan's Continuous Integrated Medical Education (CIME) structure that combines the bachelor's and master's stages into a single 6-year award.

Graduates work in public and private healthcare and education organisations as doctors, teachers, and researchers, and may obtain the right to private practice under Kazakhstan's regulatory framework.
