The Student Research Club established at the Second Department of Pediatric Surgery is named in honor of Professor M.A. Akhmedov. Each year, 10–12 students join the club, with each student assigned to a faculty mentor. Following the traditional “mentor-apprentice” system, students actively participate in research projects. Club members prepare their research work on pressing issues in pediatric surgery for participation in national competitions, gaining practical experience in scientific investigation under the guidance of the department’s faculty.

  Members of the Student Research Club are provided with guidance on conducting research, collecting and documenting primary materials, and maintaining proper records. Masterclasses are conducted covering topics such as the preparation of scientific articles and theses, their types and structural components, rules for working with scientific literature, methods for collecting and analyzing data, discussion of research results, and procedures for publication. In addition, club participants actively take part in surgical procedures and patient care in the hospital wards, gaining hands-on practical experience alongside their research activities.

  Members of the Student Research Club participate in local and international scientific and practical conferences, developing their public speaking skills and analyzing the effectiveness and outcomes of their research projects. Additionally, each club member presents on individual topics, actively engages in surgical procedures and patient care in hospital wards, and independently practices and develops practical skills.

  During the 2021–2022 academic year, talented students of the department, together with their mentors, published several theses and articles in local and international scientific journals and received certificates of achievement.

  On May 20, 2022, a total of 11 theses were submitted by members of the Student Scientific Research Circle (SSRC) to the 76th International Scientific and Practical Conference “Achievements of Fundamental, Applied Medicine and Pharmacy”, held at Samarkand State Medical University.
