Until 2008, before the introduction of credit technology of education there were 3 dean’s offices in the university: dean’s office of medical and medical-preventive faculties; dean’s office of pediatric and stomatology faculties; dean’s office of the foreign department and the pharmaceutical faculty. In 2008 there were 2 dean’s offices: by order of the rector №102 of June 26, 2008, the joint dean’s office of the Medical, Medical-preventive, Stomatology, Pharmacy, Public health and Nursing departments; and the dean’s office of the “General medicine” and pediatric faculties were created. In the academic year 2010-2011, the dean’s office was renamed into the dean’s office of credit technology of education (CTE), medical faculty, stomatology and foreign department. In the academic year 2012-2013, in connection with the abolition of the specialties «Medical faculty» and «Pediatrics», the dean’s offices have been renamed into the dean’s office of Сredit technology of education (CTE), stomatology and foreign department; and dean’s office of General medicine.
From August 29, 2016, by the order of the Rector No. 194-a, the Dean’s office of undergraduate education (UGE) was created. It combined the undergraduate specialties: General Medicine, Dentistry, Public Health, Nursing, Pharmacy and the foreign department. Despite the date of creation, the dean’s office has a rich history.
The external evaluation of the achievements of the students is confirmed by the successful passing of the state certification of the specialty in 2012 and the institutional accreditation of the university in 2014, specialized accreditation in the bachelor’s specialties in 2015 and 2016. A relatively high percentage (88% of respondents) of employers’ satisfaction with the quality of graduate program preparation, as well as the high degree of demand for graduates of bachelor’s degree, the indicator of the employment of graduates – over 90% – testifies to the effectiveness of the goals of educational programs.

In October 2016, our university hosted the First Congress of Parents. Such a large-scale event was held for the first time only in our university throughout Kazakhstan. The parents of students of all courses and specialties from different regions of Kazakhstan, as well as from the Chinese People’s Republic and India took part in the work of the congress. In total, the Congress was attended by about 200 delegates.
Students are actively involved in volunteerism at the national and international level, as one of the indicators of the strategic development of the university. So, in 2017, 33 students were volunteers of the International Specialized Exhibition «Astana EXPO 2017».
In 2019, the structure of the University has changed and the dean’s office of undergraduate education was reorganized into the School of Medicine.
