The Department of Pharmacy at the Medical Faculty was organized in 2013 on the basis of the Department of Medical and Biological Disciplines. The best associate professors  and teachers work here, among them candidate of Pharmaceutical Sciences Sh.S. Begaliev, Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate professor Zh.M.

Currently, acting  head of the department is Candidate of biological Sciences, Associate professor Zh.M. Orozbaeva. The department has great achievements in educational, methodical, scientific, educational and public work.

Teaching methods at the Department of Pharmacy are aimed primarily at improving the students' own activity.The methods of teaching allow us to pass from passive mastering of knowledge to their active application in real situations of professional activity, which, of course, improves the quality of training of future specialists.

For the purpose of improving the teaching of practical classes at the department for students of the specialty "Pharmacy" of the Medical Faculty while studying the sections of the subject "Organization and Economics of Pharmacy", the classes are conducted using one of the innovative methods of teaching that is held in small groups, which is of great importance in the training of highly qualified specialists for the sphere of circulation of medicines.

This method allows intensifying the process of understanding, assimilation and creative application of knowledge among students. The effectiveness of this method is provided through the more active involvement of students in the process of not only receiving but also directly using knowledge, forming the ability to see the problem situation in their own way, to justify their position, to listen to a different point of view and show goodwill towards their opponents.

All this gives an emotional impetus to the student's subsequent search activity, encourages them to take concrete actions and establishes a more trusting relationship with the teacher.

It should be noted that the department is beautifully decorated with various visual materials, so the student, getting on the department, immerses in the world of pharmacy.
