The Department of Human Anatomy of Samarkand State Medical University recognizes the development of students’ scientific research activities as one of the priority areas of the educational process. The Department pays particular attention to involving students in the scientifically based study of current problems of modern medical science, developing their research competencies, broadening their scientific outlook, and developing innovative thinking skills.

  Students’ scientific research activities are systematically organized through the “Young Morphologists” Student Scientific Circle operating under the Department. During the activities of the Circle, students conduct scientific research on current scientific problems related to human anatomy, clinical anatomy, morphology, embryology, histology, as well as fundamental and applied areas of modern medicine. Lectures, scientific seminars, round-table discussions, master classes, analysis of anatomical specimens, discussions of scientific articles, and sessions devoted to modern research methods are regularly organized during the meetings of the Scientific Circle.

  Under the supervision of the Department’s professors and teaching staff, students prepare scientific articles, abstracts, literature reviews, innovative projects, and scientific-practical research. During their scientific research, modern morphological research methods, statistical analysis methods, and the principles of Evidence-Based Medicine are widely used. This contributes to the development of students’ competencies in independent scientific thinking, analysis of scientific information, and drawing scientific conclusions.

  Students of the Department actively participate in scientific-practical conferences, forums, symposiums, and subject Olympiads organized at Samarkand State Medical University, as well as at the national and international levels. In particular, within the framework of international and national scientific-practical conferences held at the university, separate sectional meetings are organized in the field of “Human Anatomy and Morphology.” At these sections, students present the results of their scientific work, participate in scientific discussions, and engage in scientific communication with leading scientists and specialists.

  The scientific research works prepared by students are devoted to human anatomy, clinical anatomy, morphology, and priority areas of modern medicine, and they regularly participate in national scientific competitions, “Best Scientific Work” competitions, young scientists’ conferences, and innovative project competitions. The results of scientific works are published in national and international scientific journals and presented in conference proceedings.

  The “Young Morphologists” Scientific Circle is open to all students interested in human anatomy and morphology and serves to realize their scientific potential and support their academic and professional development. Members of the Circle have the opportunity to conduct scientific research, write scientific articles, participate in grant projects, make presentations at conferences, and develop international scientific cooperation. Active and talented students are encouraged by the university administration and the Department with diplomas, certificates, certificates of honor, letters of appreciation, and scholarships.

  The teacher responsible for the activities of the Circle is Kuvandikov G’olib Berdirasulovcih, who is currently a trainee assistant and also the author of more than 25 scientific works.

  Junior Course Leader: Alkov Ruslan, a third-year student of the Faculty of Pediatrics, author and co-author of 14 scientific articles, holder of a first-degree diploma in the international Olympiad competition in the subject of “Human Anatomy” held at SamDTU, and recipient of the Rector’s Scholarship.

  Senior Course Leader: Muminov Aziz Daminovich, a third-year student of the Faculty of Pediatrics, author and co-author of 21 scientific articles, holder of a first-degree diploma in the international Olympiad competition in the subject of “Human Anatomy” held at SamDTU, and recipient of the Rector’s Scholarship. Holder of 28 diplomas, 30 certificates, 4 certificates of honor, 2 letters of appreciation, and the “Rector’s Scholarship.” During the 2025–2026 academic year, students at the Department of Human Anatomy have been becoming members of the “Young Morphologists” Student Scientific Society. During the 2025–2026 academic year, 62 students became members of the Student Scientific Society. Throughout the year, according to the calendar plan, the Department’s teachers regularly work with their students every month. During the 2025–2026 academic year, 18 diplomas, 23 certificates, articles for 30 students, and diplomas and abstracts for 24 students participating in conferences and Olympiads were produced. “FOR THE WIN IN III INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIAD OF MEDICAL STUDENTS “SAMARQAND-2020” our students Muminjonov Aziz Daminovich, Chinmirzayeva Mohinur Durbekovna, Saidov Doniyor, Lutfullayev Hafuzillaxon, Ortiqov Alisher, Xayrullayeva Amina, Otamurodova Xurshidabonu, Otamurodov Azizbek, Muxiddinova Sabrina, Bozorova Malikabonu, Tirkashev Abduvoxid participated worthily and received places and certificates.

  As a result of the scientific research activities established at the Department, students are developing competencies in scientific thinking, critical thinking, conducting independent research, using modern scientific methods, and implementing scientific results into the practical healthcare system. This activity is of great importance in strengthening the scientific potential of the university, expanding international scientific cooperation, and training competitive, highly qualified physicians and scientific personnel.
