Today, the Department’s Student Scientific Club enrolls about 20 students of Belarusian State Medical University including international students. The SSC monthly meetings are held to discuss current issues and current problems of internal medicine therapy, deliver survey reports on the materials of scientific conferences and study the diagnostically complex and interesting clinical cases from the case reports of specialists (cardiology, rheumatology, gastroenterology).

Club membership provides the students with the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of cardiology and internal diseases, to carry out independent scientific research. Studying the principles of research work and the basics of medical ethics, the students develop professional thinking and medical talent, discover their individual creative potential. The students master the methods of analysis and statistical processing of results, acquire the ability to summarize and present the data obtained in the form of a complete work.

Activities in the scientific club allow its members to get acquainted with modern methods of diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular pathology using X-ray endovascular technologies. Many of the club’s alumni have continued to improve their skills and chosen cardiology as their profession, their life's work.

Currently, the members of the SSC are carrying out over 20 student research projects. Based on the results of their research, the students prepare reports and publications, submit their works to reviews of scientific works of young scientists, make presentations at conferences and forums in Belarus and abroad (Poland, Lithuania, Russia). Many students were awarded diplomas.

The participation of students from such neighboring countries as Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Kazakhstan in the panel session “Cardiology” of the International Conference “Current Issues of Modern Medicine and Pharmacy” has become traditional.
Active club members play an important role in the life of the Department of Cardiology and Internal Diseases, no major event can be held without their help!

Involvement in the students’ scientific club is important for the future work of a medical practitioner, as these activities allow developing the ability to analyze the clinical material in order to improve the therapeutic and diagnostic process, and are the first step in scientific activity full of numerous novel unexplored challenges of medicine.
Over the years, the students’ scientific club has turned into a real forge of personnel for medical science. A number of club members later defended their dissertations and became active researchers and lecturers at the University and our Department.
Our motto is:
Set high goals, go ahead and reach the top, work tirelessly to save lives!
