– I’m very glad to visit your university – one of the oldest universities of the Russian Federation, with great merits, – Grigory Alekseevich noted. – The issues of training qualified modern healthcare professionals are always relevant.
The meeting discussed the issues of practical training of students and practical activity of teachers of clinical departments in modern conditions, need to create our own University clinics; solving problems of staff shortage of young scientific and pedagogical workers for universities, promising areas of attracting graduates to teaching and scientific work and targeted training of specialists for practical healthcare. In addition, the main causes of problems in the field of research and the “pain points” of introducting new medical devices into clinical practice were identified, due to a number of factors, including insufficient budget funding for research and development.
During the meeting they also discussed possible threats of reputational costs in connection with the international geopolitical situation and media coverage of the situation in the Russian Federation in foreign countries, which in turn reduces the motivation for admission to universities in the Russian Federation in general, and Kursk universities in particular due to the border location of the Kursk region.
They also touched upon the issues of safety and methods of teaching the subject “Fundamentals of Life Safety” to students.
In addition to the official part, the program of stay of Senator Grigory Alekseevich Rapot included a visit to the Museum of Rare Book and Anatomical Theatre of KSMU.
