A two-day project-analytical session of the NSU Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) was held at Novosibirsk State University. It was a continuation of a series of events that began in July of this year. The goal of the session was to identify a strategy for transforming the NSU Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies (IMMT) in line with the modern model of higher education.
The work was attended by the directors, faculty, and staff of the NSU Institute of Mathematics and Mechanics, students, residents, master's students, and postgraduate students of the institute, as well as invited partners and experts.
At the beginning of the event, NSU Rector and RAS Academician Mikhail Fedoruk delivered a welcoming speech:
Akademgorodok was initially created as a multidisciplinary system, since being on the global frontier is impossible without interaction with other sciences. I believe that dialogue, discussion, and exchange of opinions between experts in various fields are very beneficial for all participants. I wish you productive work at the strategic session.
The project-analytical session began with a brief overview of the results of the first event, followed by a detailed discussion by Svetlana Kraichinskaya, PhD in Pedagogical Sciences and organizer of the project-analytical work.
"When changes occur and new programs and areas emerge, the question always arises: how to move forward. Therefore, the first session was necessary to understand the ongoing changes using the Institute of Medicine and Medical Technologies as an example. At the previous meeting, we discussed the current situation at the institute in terms of educational programs: each director described the structure of their program, staff training, development areas, as well as the target audience and how they implement training. We also reviewed the experience of other universities, analyzed our own institute, and considered how we could differentiate ourselves from them. However, we didn't have time to discuss some important points, so we decided to hold a second strategic session, which will focus on competencies," Svetlana Kraichinskaya shared.
The goals of the second session are to engage the IMMT team in the implementation of a modern model of higher education across the institute's programs: general medicine, psychology, medical cybernetics, and industrial pharmacy; to develop a new systemic structure for IMMT based on a network principle and cooperation with relevant experts; and to transition the institute's educational, project-based, and research activities to network interaction.
"Our main goal is to showcase not only the institute's competencies and capabilities, but also to explore the issue of interdisciplinary collaboration: institute-to-institute, faculty-to-faculty, department-to-department, and so on. Today and tomorrow, we will discuss how we communicate with non-medical institutions and what these interactions can lead to," added Yulia Samoylova, Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences, and Acting Director of the NSU Institute of Medical and Technical Technologies.
Yulia Samoilova then formulated modern approaches to medical education.
"Comprehensive fundamental and clinical training for future doctors, new educational programs such as medical cybernetics and industrial pharmacy, combined with a scientific foundation, and ambitious projects allow NSU to be at the forefront of the medicine of the future. Personalized medicine, digital technologies, and interdisciplinary collaboration are not the future, but our present," Yulia Samoylova emphasized.
Also during the introductory part, the participants heard a report by Olga Pervushina, Acting Deputy Director of the Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Technologies in the field of Psychology.
Work continued in expert groups focusing on the Institute's educational programs. Experts and participants discussed in detail the development direction of the Institute. Particular attention was paid to interdisciplinary projects involving the Institute's combined scientific resources.
The second day was devoted to the network principle of organizing modern education. Andrey Reus, Doctor of Economics and Director of the Pestovo Moscow School of Management, delivered a presentation. The discussion focused on the development of a new systemic structure for the Institute of Mathematical and Mathematical Technologies (IMMT) based on the network principle and cooperation with competent stakeholders. The concept of an individualized educational trajectory and the development of a unified university startup environment play a key role in the new educational model.
As a result of the two-day work, the session participants formulated principles, ideas, and approaches for building a new model of medical education.
The project is being implemented within the framework of the Priority 2030 strategic academic leadership program.
