Department of Paediatrics
N.F. Filatov Penza Region Children Clinical Hospital served as the base for founding the Department of Paediatrics in 2003. The department has been staffed with the qualified teachers and provided with the necessary equipment to conduct and improve the learning process within the Specialist’s degree programmes, including Paediatrics, and clinical residency programmes, including Paediatrics. In total, the department teaches future professionals in four areas, so that nowadays 13 academic disciplines are assigned to this structural unit. Over the past five years, more than 2500 students have been trained at the department and all teaching staff members have undergone professional development under various lifelong learning programmes and courses.
Research and innovation of the department contribute to maintaining health among children. The most significant achievements have been made in the area of bone metabolism in children. The teaching staff of the department invented the biologically active additive Osteomed, which was listed among 100 best inventions in the Russian Federation. Subsequently, two new drugs Osteo-vit D3 and Osteomed-forte have been developed for the treatment and prevention of osteoporosis in children and adults. This and other activities have resulted in receiving more than 20 patents for inventions, publishing teaching aids and monographs and featuring scientific articles, including indexed in Scopus.
The Department of Paediatrics operates the student research team, which focuses on the following topics: state of bone metabolism in children, emergency conditions in paediatrics, patient management algorithms, organisation and support of breastfeeding, pharmacotherapy in paediatrics. In addition to presenting the scientific reports and reviewing the scientific literature, the team members analyse a clinical case at each meeting. The findings of the students and their supervisors from among the teaching staff are presented at the department sessions or conferences (e.g. Paediatrics Session within the conference “Sura Autumn”, interregional research-to-practice conference “Paediatrics Puzzle”).
