The role of student science in the development of innovative approaches to therapy

Abstract

Today, one of the priority areas for the development of modern medicine is the introduction of innovative approaches to therapy. Students participating in research have a unique opportunity to contribute to the development of new treatments for patients. The purpose of this article is to examine the role of student science in the development of innovative approaches to therapy. Unfortunately, as practice shows, traditional research institutes do not always fully cope with the task of developing effective and modern treatment methods. In order to overcome these difficulties, the research activities of medical students are becoming increasingly important. Young professionals, with a fresh perspective on industry problems, often find more creative and innovative solutions. At the same time, they are characterized by increased motivation to implement the results of their work into clinical practice. Materials and methods. For the analysis, scientific work of 98 students of the Faculty of Medicine, completed in the 2021-2023 academic years as part of research projects under the supervision of teachers, was used. Results. It was found that 30% of the work was devoted to the study of new methods for diagnosing diseases, another 35% to the development of innovative treatment protocols. The remaining 35% of studies dealt with the introduction of digital technologies into the practice of doctors. The ideas and solutions proposed by students were implemented in clinical practice in 24 cases.
