Educational and methodical work of the department
Currently, in accordance with the curriculum and course syllabi, the department conducts educational and laboratory classes for the following disciplines across relevant fields of study:
1. Forensic Medicine – 4 credits,
2. Legal Framework of Physician Activity – 1.5 credits;
3. Healthcare Ethics. Communication in Nursing. Legal Framework of Medical Activity – 6 credits.
To ensure a high standard of organization and maximize the efficiency of educational and laboratory sessions, the content of lectures and practical classes is developed using contemporary specialized educational literature, expert practice observations, and resources from the moodel.sammi.uz electronic learning platform. Traditional (in-person) classes are conducted by fully utilizing the facilities and resources of the Samarkand branch of RSMPMCER (Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Endocrinology / Republic-level medical institution).
Lecture materials are uploaded to the electronic learning platform as high-quality presentations and are recorded with voice-over commentary.
The department has developed a comprehensive set of academic and methodological recommendations for the practical skills specified in the course syllabi. All of these skills are mastered through live demonstrations in educational-laboratory rooms and departments of the clinical training base. For online classes, all practical skills are prepared with audio narration and integrated into the structure of the learning platform. Additionally, a step-by-step methodology for executing these skills has been established.
Student assessment is carried out in accordance with the active "Regulations" through continuous assessment (CA) and final assessment (FA). Both CA and FA are conducted via oral examinations, multiple-choice tests, situational case studies, and the evaluation of practical skills performance. A strict control system and continuous monitoring of student attendance have been established; consequently, the attendance rate stands at 99.6%–99.8%, while the academic performance (mastery) rate is 98%–99%.
The educational process is organized based on relevant qualification requirements, state educational standards, curricula, course syllabi, and approved working course syllabi.
Modern pedagogical and educational technologies are utilized in the teaching process, including graphic organizers, case-study technology, the project method, multimedia tools, and interactive teaching methods. Furthermore, current regulatory legal acts, relevant orders of the healthcare system, approved diagnostic and treatment standards, as well as international recommendations are taken into consideration when organizing academic sessions.
As part of the technical support for the teaching process, subject-related videos, electronic presentations, multimedia programs, and electronic learning materials designed for lectures and practical sessions are utilized. A bank of electronic and scanned images covering all sections of the educational programs has been formed to unify academic sessions and facilitate the development of practical skills.
