Abstract (English): The escalating burden of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in Uzbekistan underscores an urgent need to reform the nation's medical education system to better equip healthcare professionals. This mixed-methods study investigates the strategic challenges and opportunities in this transformation by synthesizing data from three key stakeholder groups: health policy administrators, medical faculty, and clinical practitioners. Our findings reveal a critical skills gap among graduates in managing hypertension, a concern most acutely felt by practitioners (mean rating: 4.6/5). Significant obstacles include financial constraints on practical training resources, noted particularly by educators, and a substantial brain drain of medical specialists (23% of top graduates). Furthermore, satisfaction with the current educational quality assurance system was markedly low (mean: 2.8/5). Quantitative analysis identified research funding (ß=0.42) and faculty development (ß=0.35) as the most powerful predictors of educational quality. Qualitatively, international collaboration (34.2% of coded responses) and the digital transformation of medical training emerged as pivotal strategic levers. We conclude that a strategic overhaul of medical education is imperative for improving national cardiovascular health outcomes. This necessitates targeted investment in practical training infrastructure, curriculum modernization aligned with international clinical guidelines, and robust faculty development programs to cultivate a competent healthcare workforce capable of addressing Uzbekistan's pressing public health challenges.

Abstract (Spanish): La creciente carga de hipertensión y enfermedades cardiovasculares en Uzbekistán subraya la urgente necesidad de reformar el sistema de educación médica del país para capacitar mejor a los profesionales de la salud. Este estudio, que emplea una metodología mixta, investiga los desafíos y las oportunidades estratégicas de esta transformación mediante la síntesis de datos de tres grupos clave: administradores de políticas de salud, profesorado de medicina y médicos clínicos. Nuestros hallazgos revelan una importante brecha de habilidades entre los egresados en el manejo de la hipertensión, una preocupación que afecta especialmente a los médicos (calificación promedio: 4,6/5). Entre los obstáculos significativos se encuentran las limitaciones financieras en los recursos para la formación práctica, señaladas particularmente por los educadores, y una considerable fuga de cerebros de médicos especialistas (23% de los mejores egresados). Además, la satisfacción con el sistema actual de garantía de la calidad educativa fue notablemente baja (promedio: 2,8/5). El análisis cuantitativo identificó la financiación para la investigación (ß=0,42) y el desarrollo docente (ß=0,35) como los predictores más importantes de la calidad educativa. Cualitativamente, la colaboración internacional (34,2% de las respuestas codificadas) y la transformación digital de la formación médica emergieron como palancas estratégicas clave. Concluimos que una reforma estratégica de la educación médica es imperativa para mejorar los resultados de salud cardiovascular a nivel nacional. Esto requiere una inversión específica en infraestructura para la formación práctica, la modernización del currículo en consonancia con las guías clínicas internacionales y programas sólidos de desarrollo docente para formar un personal sanitario competente capaz de abordar los acuciantes desafíos de salud pública de Uzbekistán.
