    Abstract

    The Graduate Medical Education (GME) became an essential part of the physician’s professional curriculum all over the world, no matter the specific model developed across different countries. The “Residency” represents the main GME model in North America, where it is regulated and organized according to the standards of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). This model has been exported outside North America through the ACGME International (ACGME-I) program. This article reports the first experience of implementing an ACGME-oriented Pediatric Residency Program in Central Asia at the Nazarbayev University School of Medicine in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The vision, general project, main organizational aspects, and challenges of this Pediatric Residency Program are described and discussed in this article.
