Department of Surgical Disciplines

The Department of Surgical Disciplines was established in 2024 and, since its foundation, has become an integral part of the university’s academic community. The department is headed by Associate Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences — Shamsiddin Z. Nizamhodjaev, a highly qualified specialist with extensive experience in teaching and practical surgical activity.

Today, the department functions as a structural subdivision of the School of Medicine and carries out educational activities for students of the “General Medicine” and “Dentistry” programs. Teaching is based on modern scientific approaches and clinical practices that correspond to international standards of medical training.

Surgery is rightfully considered one of the key and rapidly developing areas of medicine. It is a discipline at the intersection of science, technology, and humanism, requiring from the specialist high qualifications, clinical thinking, and continuous professional development. In the context of the rapid progress of medical science and the introduction of new technologies, the role of surgery in healthcare will only continue to grow — especially in the fields of minimally invasive procedures, robotic surgery, and personalized approaches to treatment.

The mission of the department is to train professional, competent, and ethically responsible surgeons capable of effectively solving the tasks of modern medicine and contributing to the development of surgical science and practice.

The main tasks of the department:

• Ensuring high-quality teaching of surgical disciplines for medical students;
• Developing and implementing innovative educational programs and methods;
• Conducting scientific research aimed at improving surgical treatment methods;
• Enhancing the qualifications of the teaching staff and developing scientific potential;
• Involving students in the scientific, educational, and cultural life of the department.

The department actively supports student initiatives by organizing and conducting Olympiads, scientific-practical conferences, master classes, trainings, and seminars. These events not only deepen professional knowledge but also foster leadership qualities in students, the ability to work in a team, and readiness for professional challenges.

Students of the department also take part in social, educational, and cultural projects aimed at developing the medical community and strengthening the links between science, education, and society.

The Department of Surgical Disciplines is a center of academic and scientific growth where traditions are combined with innovations, and students acquire the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career in one of the most responsible and noble fields of medicine.
