Clinical exposure

CAU's Doctor of Medicine curriculum introduces clinical exposure early through 'propaedeutics' and internships beginning alongside the foundational science years, then moves into full systems-based clinical rotations from year four onward -- covering internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, cardiology, neurology, oncology, and family medicine -- supported by six structured supervised clinical internships and a dedicated Simulation Center for hands-on skills practice before students reach the ward. The university's core clinical partner is AKFA Medline, a JCI-accredited teaching hospital that was formally integrated into CAU's clinical framework as a 'University Clinic' per an official 2025 announcement, giving Medical School students structured access to a modern private hospital environment for training. CAU has also announced a cooperation agreement with the U.S.-based Cleveland Clinic (Cleveland Clinic Connected), which the university's own materials describe as part of a broader plan to develop hospital and clinical-training capacity in Uzbekistan; students should treat this Cleveland Clinic relationship as an institutional partnership under active development rather than assume it already provides rotations at Cleveland Clinic's US facilities, and should ask admissions for the current, concrete scope of this partnership before enrolling.
