About the Program:
Meetings are held at least once per quarter in the format of a clinical case study of a real or simulated case prepared by a higher education student under the guidance of a faculty supervisor.
Each meeting focuses on a single clinical case prepared and presented by one or two higher education students.
During the meeting, the speaker presents the clinical case step-by-step—from complaints to examination results—without revealing the final diagnosis.
Active participants are engaged in the discussion and formulation of differential diagnostic hypotheses, propose additional examinations, interpret diagnostic tests, and analyze the presented information.
The participants' task is to use clinical thinking to establish the most probable diagnosis and justify it.
Participants who demonstrate a high level of analytical thinking, active engagement, and proper preparation may be involved in other SSS initiatives.
Who Can Participate?
Higher education students enrolled in the "Medicine" (General Medicine) educational and professional program are eligible to participate in the Program.
Students may participate in the Program in the following roles:
Speakers — students who prepare and present a clinical case after preliminary preparation under the guidance of a faculty supervisor;
Active participants — students who take part in the clinical discussion, ask questions, formulate hypotheses, and propose diagnostic steps.
A student who wishes to become a speaker contacts the SSS Council with a corresponding request.
The SSS Council initiates a working group meeting to approve the speaker's candidacy, assign a faculty supervisor, assist in selecting the clinical case, and provide recommendations on material preparation, structuring, and public speaking.
Important Notes:
-Following each meeting within the Program, the working group compiles a list of speakers and active participants indicating the number of points recommended for awarding.
-This information is forwarded to the respective departments so that students can receive credit for individual work in the discipline corresponding to the meeting's topic.
-Point Distribution:
Speakers — 5 points per presentation;
Active participants — 1 point per meeting, but no more than 3 points in total.
-By decision of the working group, speakers may have certain types of educational activities reassessed/credited (e.g., a practical class on the topic presented by the student), provided that the presented material aligns with the curriculum.
-The final decision on such credit transfer is made by the commission for the recognition of informal learning outcomes in accordance with the internal Regulations of the University.
