VSMU promotes science through the “Ten Good Deeds” project

As part of the “Ten Good Deeds of Science” project, dedicated to the anniversary of Volgograd State Medical University (VSMU), the team from the Scientific Society of Young Scientists and Students held another educational event. This time, the focus was on promoting evidence-based medicine among the younger generation.

Members of the career guidance department of VSMU’s Scientific Society of Young Scientists and Students, under the Ministry of Health of Russia, delivered a popular science lecture for students of Lyceum No. 11 titled “95%: The Rise of Evidence-Based Medicine.”

The lecture explained the challenges modern doctors face in navigating vast amounts of information and making informed decisions for patients. It also covered the history of evidence-based medicine: the origin of the term, and the story of the first randomized clinical trial, conducted before such terminology even existed.

For the students of Lyceum No. 11, the lecture was not only an opportunity to learn something new but also a chance to glimpse the future of their potential profession. Many of them are considering medicine as a field of study, and such events help them understand the challenges awaiting future doctors. Participants noted that the lecture was both informative and engaging, with real-world examples from medical history and practical tips for working with scientific data sparking particular interest. After the presentation, the students actively asked questions, shared their impressions, and thanked the NOMUS team for their efforts.

“We aim to show that medicine is not just a profession but an ever-evolving science. Everyone who chooses this path becomes part of a global process of helping people,” said Egor Sokolov, Chairman of the NOMUS Council at VSMU.

Dedicated to the celebration of VSMU’s 90th anniversary
