The field practice in botany and pharmacognosy at the Kaskasu and Yntymak bases (Shymkent) was highlighted by 4th year students Galymkyzy D. and Nezvanova E. Kaskasu base also became a place of practice not only for students of the SKMA, but also for students from the NAO "Astana Medical University" and the Kyrgyz State Medical Academy named after I.K.Akhunbayev.

At the end of the practical training, students mastered the following practical skills:
- Determination of LR and MR based on morphological characteristics
- Determination of possible drug impurities.
- Herbarium of plants of different life forms (trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants).
- Collection, primary processing, drying and labeling of medicinal plant materials of various morphological groups.
- Conducting pharmacognostic analysis of medicinal plant materials.
