History & Founding
Termez Branch of Tashkent Medical Academy was established in 2006 by the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of Uzbekistan to expand access to quality medical education in southern Uzbekistan. The branch operates under the academic governance of Tashkent Medical Academy, one of Central Asia's oldest and most respected medical institutions founded in 1919 by Professor Nikolai Burdenko, a pioneer Soviet surgeon.
The Termez branch was created specifically to address the physician shortage in Surkhandarya Region and to provide medical education closer to communities near the Uzbekistan-Afghanistan border.

The university gained World Health Organization recognition and WDOMS listing in 2008, just two years after establishment. National Medical Commission (formerly MCI) recognition for Indian students was granted in 2010 after rigorous inspection of academic standards and clinical training facilities.
The university expanded rapidly, establishing partnerships with 8 regional hospitals by 2012 to provide diverse clinical rotations. By 2015, the first batch of international graduates began practicing medicine, with notable alumni now working in district hospitals across Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Madhya Pradesh in India, as well as in primary care settings in Russia and Kazakhstan.
Over 400 graduates have completed MBBS from Termez Branch since 2012, with approximately 180 currently practicing in India after clearing FMGE.

Career Pathways After Graduation
The most common career pathway for graduates of Termez Branch of Tashkent Medical Academy is returning to India and obtaining medical registration through the National Exit Test (NExT). NExT is a single uniform exam that serves as both the final MBBS examination and the licensure test for practicing medicine in India. The exam has two components - NExT Step 1 taken after completion of Phase II (pre-clinical and para-clinical subjects) and NExT Step 2 taken at the end of Phase III (clinical subjects and internship).
- After successfully clearing both steps of NExT, graduates apply for registration with their respective State Medical Council, which typically takes 2-3 months for processing and involves document verification, original degree certificate apostilled and translated, internship completion certificate, and NMC Eligibility Certificate. Once registered, doctors can practice legally in India. Starting salaries for MBBS doctors in India vary considerably by location and type of practice.
- In private hospitals and clinics in metro cities, fresh graduates earn Rs. 40,000-70,000 per month, while in smaller towns the range is Rs. 25,000-45,000 per month.
- Government positions through state recruitment exams offer Rs. 60,000-80,000 per month with additional benefits and job security. Many doctors pursue postgraduate specialization through NEET-PG, which requires clearing the national entrance exam and securing a rank-based seat in MD/MS programs.
- Government medical college PG seats are highly competitive, while private college seats require capitation fees ranging from Rs. 25 Lakhs to Rs. 2 Crores depending on the specialty.
The curriculum at Termez Branch of Tashkent Medical Academy, particularly the clinical case-based teaching in Years 4-6, provides an advantage for NExT preparation as the exam increasingly emphasizes clinical scenarios, image-based questions, and practical application rather than pure theoretical recall. Graduates have opportunities in government hospitals (steady income and respect), private hospital chains (higher income potential but longer working hours), starting own clinics (independence but requires investment), joining corporate healthcare companies, medical coding and healthcare IT, pharmaceutical industry, and medical education teaching positions.
