On April 30, the department hosted a final student conference organized as part of the course “Problem-Oriented Learning in Physiological Disciplines.” The event brought together 18 students who delivered presentations on current issues related to pathological processes, diseases, and modern diagnostic methods.
The conference was conducted by Associate Professor Olha Obukhova, who highlighted the high level of student preparation and the relevance of the selected topics.
During the conference, students demonstrated strong clinical reasoning skills, the ability to analyze cause-and-effect relationships, and to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical cases. The topics covered both common and rare pathological conditions, contributing to a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms and diagnostic approaches.
Several presentations emphasized the importance of early diagnosis, prevention, and improving the quality of healthcare, reflecting current global priorities in the development of healthcare systems and aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly “Good Health and Well-Being.”
Lively discussions accompanying each presentation enhanced comprehension of the material and fostered the development of argumentation and scientific communication skills. The conference became an important stage in shaping the professional competence of future specialists and once again confirmed the effectiveness of the problem-oriented approach in medical education.
The presentations are available on the department’s YouTube channel:
