Kazakhstan plans to shift the training and employment of medical interns to a system of tripartite agreements between universities, clinics, and future doctors. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Kursiv Media.
The Ministry of Health has published the corresponding draft order on the open NPA portal. According to the document, the new mechanism aims to ensure transparency of state orders, support for young specialists, and address the shortage of medical personnel in regions, while helping young professionals adapt to working with patients.
"The mechanism of a tripartite agreement between the educational organization, the employer, and the intern doctor will allow to determine in advance the responsibility of each party, ensure quality training, support for young specialists during employment, and effective fulfillment of obligations under the state order," the explanatory note states.
Additionally, the draft order provides for the official definition of the term "intern doctor." According to the Ministry of Health, this will clearly define the status of future specialists, their rights and responsibilities, and make the training and practical preparation process more transparent.
Earlier, the Ministry of Health prepared new rules under which the number of places in medical universities will be calculated based on the actual needs of local hospitals and clinics. Special emphasis will be placed on regions with a critical shortage of narrow specialists. It was noted that the main goal of the innovation is to create a unified system for planning specialist training.
Previously, Kursiv reported that Kazakhstan plans to introduce a system of expert medical centers to help minimize medical errors.
