Currently, the department conducts educational and laboratory classes in the following disciplines in accordance with the curriculum and scientific programs:
1. Forensic medicine - 4 credits,
2. Legal basis of medical activity – 1.5 credits,
3. Legal Foundations of Medical Activity - 6 credits
In the process of organizing lectures and practical classes, materials from the electronic educational platform of SamGosMU - m t .samm u .uz, as well as materials from practical observations, are widely used to increase the effectiveness of educational and laboratory classes.
The department has developed a set of teaching and methodological recommendations for practical skills, which are practiced during training and laboratory classes and in the departments of the training center. All practical skills are available in audio format and posted on the training platform. A step-by-step methodology for mastering these skills has also been developed.
Student assessment is carried out through a current assessment (CA) and a final assessment (FA) in accordance with the current "Regulations." CA and FA are conducted through oral questioning, testing and situational questions, and practical skills exercises. Strict controls are in place, and student attendance and academic performance are constantly monitored. Attendance is 99.6%-99.8%, and academic performance is 98-99%.
The International Forensic Medicine Olympiad was held at the department by order of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan and with the support of the institute's management. More than 120 students, master's students, and clinical residents from seven countries, representing 26 universities, participated in the Olympiad.
The department's research focuses on current issues in forensic medicine, including "The study of thanatogenesis and mechanogenesis of mechanical trauma, as well as the establishment of the time of death in hot, arid zones." Two doctoral and eight candidate (PhD) dissertations have been defended in this area. A number of new teaching technologies have been introduced into the educational process. Over the past five years, more than 250 scientific articles, 45 teaching and methodological guidelines and recommendations, and 20 rationalization proposals have been published and implemented in practice.
The department’s faculty has prepared 4 textbooks, 6 teaching aids, 5 monographs, 18 methodological recommendations, and 132 scientific papers.
Over the past academic years, the department has held webinars, trainings, open lectures, and academic mobility classes with the participation of highly qualified professors and associate professors from prestigious foreign medical universities—Kazan State Medical University, St. Petersburg Pediatric Medical University , and Izhevsk State Medical Academy.
The department's faculty members perform expert work in the relevant departments of the branch on a part-time basis and participate in all branch events, including clinical and anatomical conferences, investigative (forensic) experiments, exhumations, and court hearings. The department's faculty members directly demonstrate the most essential practical skills to students. Materials from practical observations are widely used in the preparation of course materials and are discussed during independent work.
The department's constant supply of teaching staff is achieved through the extensive involvement of talented young specialists in research and teaching activities, including graduates of master's programs and clinical residencies. Among the graduates currently engaged in teaching, six hold PhD degrees, and four are conducting dissertation research.
Most of the graduates of these specialties are now effectively working at the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Forensic Medical Expertise and its branches (Samarkand, Navoi, Kashkadarya, Surkhandarya), and all of them have the status of state experts.
As part of five important initiatives put forward by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the department's faculty members conduct a wide range of educational work with students in dormitories and in mentored groups.
