History of the chair of Simulation Training
The Department of Simulation-Based Training was established in 2024 under the Simulation Center of Samarkand State Medical University, in accordance with the modern requirements of medical education. The department's activities are focused on developing students' practical skills through the use of simulation technologies.
At the department, students acquire essential skills such as clinical reasoning, decision-making in emergency situations, and communication with patients through modern simulators, structured clinical cases, and interactive sessions.
Since its establishment, the department has been staffed by qualified and experienced clinical practitioners. The faculty members regularly participate in international training courses to enhance their professional competencies.
Today, the Department of Simulation-Based Training is recognized as a leading center in Uzbekistan for the implementation of innovative methods in clinical education.
Spiritual and educational activities of the chair of Simulation Training
Spiritual and educational activities at the chair of Simulation training are carried out in accordance with an approved plan. Various cultural and educational events, sports competitions, and marathons are organized to commemorate historical dates and national holidays. Every Thursday, an “Information Hour” is regularly held, during which students and department staff are informed about Presidential Decrees, Government Resolutions of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and current news. Meeting minutes are recorded accordingly. Assistant N.M. Isayeva is responsible for overseeing spiritual and educational activities at the department.
Conversations and celebratory events are organized with students in connection with significant dates such as Independence Day, Constitution Day, Navruz, and May 9 – Day of Remembrance and Honor. The department's assistants also actively participate in the general cultural and educational events held at the university.
A curatorship system has been introduced at the department, where each curator works regularly with the students in their assigned group based on an approved plan. Curators conduct educational conversations with students and actively participate in events aimed at enhancing their spiritual development, promoting a healthy lifestyle, and fostering professional interest.
Department staff are also engaged in activities at the student dormitories, organizing lectures, interactive meetings, and masterclasses on engaging topics. In collaboration with students, sports competitions and wellness activities have been implemented to support physical and mental well-being.
Educational and methodological activities of the chair of Simulation Training
At the chair of Simulation training, 4th to 6th-year students of the faculties of General Medicine, Pediatrics, Medical Pedagogy, and Dentistry are trained to acquire practical skills. In addition, it is planned to provide training for master's students, clinical residents, and continuing professional development courses using modern simulation technologies.
The educational process is carried out in accordance with the following approved documents:
- Qualification Characteristics
- State Educational Standards
- Academic Curricula and Syllabi
- Amendments in line with Order No. 80 of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan
- International clinical guidelines and diagnostic standards
Department staff have developed educational and methodological manuals and workbooks designed for step-by-step learning. These resources help students master skills such as solving clinical cases, making decisions in emergencies, and providing resuscitation care.
Modern technological tools are widely integrated into the teaching process: video lectures, multimedia applications, simulation devices, virtual training modules, and interactive presentations are used through a dedicated computer system. A unified bank of scanned clinical images covering all topics is also readily available for educational use.
The department's library contains over 20 textbooks and teaching materials in English, Russian, and Uzbek. The electronic library includes textbooks, learning atlases, methodological guides, and simulation-based recommendations.
Students are provided with ample opportunities to develop practical skills and patient communication competencies in simulated settings across surgical, resuscitation, cardiology, neonatology, pediatrics, and other clinical training areas.
Scientific and research activities of the chair of Simulation training
Scientific research at the Department of Simulation-Based Training focuses on key areas such as modern medical pedagogy, effective methods for developing practical skills, and the role of simulation-based approaches in fostering clinical reasoning. The department also addresses pressing topics such as the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in higher medical education, the formation of professional competencies in students, and the application of innovative strategies in healthcare.
Faculty members actively participate in institutional research projects and present their findings at national and international scientific conferences in the form of lectures and abstracts. Currently, three assistants — S.T. Rakhmonov, J.A. Rustamov, and O.J. Donaboyev — are conducting independent scientific research.
- Main research directions of the department include:
- Improvement of simulation-based teaching methodologies
- Fundamentals of decision-making training in emergency situations
- Effectiveness of OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) technologies in assessing clinical skills
- Analysis of professional adaptation among students
- The role of interactive methods in medical education
Over the past three years, the department staff have developed more than 20 scientific articles and abstracts, 4 educational-methodological manuals, 1 teaching manual, and 5 practical training programs. The department currently holds a scientific capacity of 25%.
The chair of Simulation training continues to evolve as one of the leading scientific centers in developing and implementing innovative approaches in modern medical education.
Student scientific society
The Student Scientific Society (SSS) at the Department of Simulation-Based Training currently has 18 active members, including 16 undergraduate students and 2 clinical residents. During the 2024–2025 academic year, a total of 12 scientific-practical circle sessions were held as planned.
Students actively participate in the department’s practical simulation classes, where they engage in analyzing clinical cases, practicing emergency medical approaches, and conducting practical sessions based on simulation scenarios. Members of the SSS have successfully represented the department at major events, including the “Samarkand 2025” International Olympiad and the International Conference of Students and Young Scientists, earning top positions.
International Cooperation
In line with the international development strategy of Samarkand State Medical University, the Department of Simulation-Based Training is actively expanding its scope and steadily strengthening its international collaborations. The department's international activities focus on introducing innovative teaching methods for foreign students, exchanging experience with simulation centers abroad, and participating in joint scientific and educational projects.
Currently, the department has established partnerships for experience and methodological material exchange with simulation centers in Europe, Asia, and CIS countries. In 2025, academic exchange meetings and seminars were held in cooperation with specialists from Acıbadem University (Turkey) as part of ongoing academic mobility initiatives.
Faculty members of the department actively participate in international scientific-practical conferences, simulation trainings, and educational forums organized at SamSMU, sharing their expertise and experiences with international colleagues.
The chair of Simulation training is committed to delivering education in accordance with international standards, implementing advanced approaches from the global healthcare system, and expanding international collaboration. Samarkand State Medical University welcomes international applicants, students, researchers, and faculty members to engage in academic and scientific exchange.
