On March 13-14, the MER project team, together with colleagues from Geneva, Marina Giachino and Catherine Zimmerman, visited Tokmok and Naryn medical colleges. Our colleagues held meetings with the leadership of colleges, teachers and students. Also in the city of Naryn, a meeting was held with the Deputy Director of the Naryn Regional United Hospital. The purpose of the visits to the colleges is to learn how the implementation of the pilot program in the specialty "Nursing" is going on, as well as to find out how the practice of students enrolled in this program is going.
