UzMedEn Erasmus+ CBHE Project: Transforming Medical Engineering Education in Uzbekistan

UzMedEn (01.01.2023 - 31.12.2025) is addressing a critical need in Uzbekistan: the shortage of skilled specialists in medical engineering. This Erasmus+ CBHE project focuses on developing and internationalizing Master’s degree programs and training courses in medical engineering, equipping students and professionals with knowledge of cutting-edge medical technologies.

Why is this important?

With the growing demand for skilled medical engineers to handle the installation, maintenance, and management of medical devices, the project aims to create innovative curricula aligned with EU best practices and global market standards.

Key Objectives of UzMedEn:

• Develop and accredit a new ECTS-based Master’s program in medical engineering.
• Launch 12 new courses for the Master’s program and 4 specialized training programs.
• Establish 7 student labs and 3 Regional Training Centers equipped with advanced medical engineering tools.
• Create a MOOC platform to share training materials.
• Form a Medical Engineers Society to promote knowledge-sharing and professional development.
• Train over 80 Master’s students annually and provide practical skills training to 200+ technicians and unemployed individuals.
• Promote inclusivity by engaging women, migrants, and economically disadvantaged groups in training opportunities.

Milestones Achieved:

• A pilot Master’s program is underway at Andijan State Medical Institute (AndMI), Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent (TTPU), and Bukhara Engineering-Technological Institute (BETI).
• Laboratories at 4 Uzbek universities are equipped with specialized tools based on analyses of regional hospitals and partner HEIs.
• Training centers were established at AndMI, TTPU, and BETI.

The project involved higher education institutions in Uzbekistan, such as the Tashkent University of Information Technologies, Turin Polytechnic University in Tashkent, Andijan State Medical Institute, Bukhara Engineering-Technological Institute, Bukhara State Medical Institute, Yeoju Technical Institute, and Alfraganus University.
