Introduction
In Uzbekistan, the choice of medium of  
instruction in MCI approved medical  
colleges is a significant issue. This  
presentation explores the implications of  
using English versus the native language  
for medical education, focusing on  
student comprehension, cultural  
relevance, and future professional 
practice.
Benefits of English 
Medium
Using English as the medium of  
instruction in medical colleges offers  
several advantages, including access to  
international resources, enhanced  
communication skills, and better career  
opportunities globally. It prepares  
students to engage with global medical  
communities and keeps them updated  
with the latest advancements in 
medicine.
Advantages of Native 
Language
Teaching in the native language can  
significantly boost students'  
understanding and confidence. It 
allows  for better engagement with 
local culture  and practices, facilitating 
a more  contextual learning experience. 
This  approach can also improve patient 
 interaction skills when students enter 
the  healthcare system.
Conclusion
Choosing the right medium of 
instruction  in medical colleges is crucial 
for effective  education. Both English 
and the native  language have their 
merits. The decision  should consider 
students' needs, career  aspirations, and 
the evolving landscape of  medical 
education in Uzbekistan.
