The Department actively operates a Student Scientific Research Circle and School of Excellence under the supervision of Associate Professor G.Dj. Ishkabulova. Over the past several years, fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-year students of the Faculty of General Medicine have actively participated in scientific research activities. They have delivered presentations and published abstracts of their research at the 78th, 79th, and jubilee 80th Scientific Student Conferences of the Institute. Students have also participated in international student scientific and practical conferences, where they have achieved prize-winning places.

  Participation in the Student Scientific Research Circle is an integral and important component of the educational process at the Department. More than 20 students are currently involved in its activities. The results of their research are presented and published annually at the University’s Young Scientists’ Conferences, while the best research projects are recommended for participation in inter-university scientific conferences.

  The Department welcomes all students interested in the social, humanitarian, and scientific aspects of medical knowledge and professional practice to participate in research activities, supporting and encouraging the achievements of the members of the scientific circle.

  Key areas of scientific activity for the 2026–2027 academic year

• expanding international scientific cooperation, including collaboration with universities in the CIS countries;
• preparing and publishing research papers in high-impact scientific journals;
• presenting research findings at leading higher education institutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan and at international scientific forums;
• further developing student and young researchers’ scientific activities.

  The academic staff of the Department of Pediatrics consistently follow the “mentor–student” principle in organizing and conducting scientific research. At the beginning of each academic year, students are involved in research activities in accordance with established academic and qualification requirements. Department faculty members use their pedagogical and scientific expertise to assist students in preparing research abstracts and scientific articles for various scientific and practical conferences held both in the Republic of Uzbekistan and abroad.

  The Department’s faculty members also actively organize scientific presentations and educational sessions, providing students with a clear understanding of the principles of patient care, diagnosis, and treatment relevant to the selected research topics. Each faculty member is assigned a group of students and provides them with continuous academic and scientific guidance throughout their research activities.

  As part of the Department’s international scientific cooperation, joint international meetings of the Student Scientific Society are held in collaboration with the Department of Outpatient Pediatrics of the Ural State Medical University. These meetings provide students with valuable opportunities to exchange scientific experience, present research findings, develop professional communication skills, and become familiar with contemporary approaches to pediatric science and clinical practice.
