Science club
At the Department of Ophthalmology, Faculty of Pediatrics, a scientific club titled “Young Ophthalmologists” has been established. In the 2025–2026 academic year, 15 students, 2 clinical residents, and 1 master’s student were admitted as members. All of them actively and regularly participate in the club meetings organized by the Department.
Each student is assigned to a faculty member and, in accordance with the “mentor–student” tradition, takes an active role in scientific research.
During the academic year, 20 club meetings were held. At these meetings, pressing and current issues of modern ophthalmology were discussed, including the diagnosis of eye diseases and contemporary methods of treatment.
At the meetings, master classes were conducted on preparing scientific articles and theses, types of documents and their components, rules for working with scientific literature, collecting and processing materials, discussing and analyzing research results, and procedures for publication.
Students also participated in national and international scientific-practical conferences, where their public speaking skills were developed. The effectiveness of their work and the results of their research activities were carefully analyzed.
Participation and Achievements of the Scientific Club
Every year, members of the “Young Ophthalmologists” student club actively participate in the international scientific-practical conference “Achievements of Modern Medicine and Pharmacy”, where they present their research and receive awards.
