Under the supervision of Professor Eleonora Negmatovna Tashkenbaeva, MD, DSc, Head of the Department of Internal Medicine and Cardiology No. 2, Samarkand State Medical University, the Student Scientific Club “Young Cardiologists and Therapists” successfully operates at the department. The Club is aimed at developing students’ scientific potential, improving their practical skills, enhancing clinical thinking, and training highly qualified specialists in the fields of Internal Medicine and Cardiology.

  The primary objective of the Club is to improve students’ professional competence, develop research skills, stimulate interest in scientific activity, and promote the implementation of the principles of evidence-based medicine in the educational process.

  The Club meetings are held twice a week at a time convenient for students. Each meeting is attended by approximately 20–30 active members. One of the distinctive features of the Club is its international format. Meetings are conducted in Uzbek, Russian, and English, involving both local and international students, which promotes international academic cooperation and professional exchange.

  During the 2025–2026 academic year, more than twenty scientific meetings dedicated to current issues in Internal Medicine and Cardiology were organized. Students presented scientific reports, discussed recent achievements in medical science, analyzed complex clinical cases, and participated in professional scientific discussions.

  One of the priority areas of the Club’s activity is the development of interdisciplinary integration and international cooperation. Throughout the academic year, integrated scientific meetings were organized jointly with other departments of Samarkand State Medical University, as well as scientific and practical events with higher educational institutions of the Russian Federation, including universities in Saratov, Izhevsk, and Kaliningrad. Such collaboration broadens students’ scientific outlook, promotes academic exchange, and strengthens international partnerships.

  Members of the Club actively participate every year in university, national, and international scientific conferences, academic Olympiads, and professional competitions. They regularly publish scientific articles and conference abstracts, demonstrating a high level of academic achievement. One of the Club’s significant accomplishments was the awarding of the Rector’s Scholarship of Samarkand State Medical University to the active member Chaudhari Akshit. The coordinator of local students is Fikriya Bayramovna Aliyeva, while Anbreen Fatima coordinated the participation of international students. They actively contribute to organizing Club meetings and preparing students for conferences, Olympiads, and other scientific events.

  The Student Scientific Club is supervised by Kristina Samvelovna Pulatova, Assistant of the Department of Internal Medicine and Cardiology No. 2 and author of more than 100 scientific publications and conference abstracts. Under her supervision, students are actively involved in research activities, preparation of scientific publications, participation in conferences and Olympiads, and implementation of collaborative scientific projects.

  The Student Scientific Club “Young Cardiologists and Therapists” continues to develop successfully by expanding international cooperation, introducing modern educational technologies, and creating favorable conditions for students’ professional and scientific growth.
