Morphological aspects in practical medicine and biology

Morphological disciplines form the basis of theoretical and practical training of future qualified medical specialists. Thanks to deep anatomical knowledge, the foundations of special knowledge are laid, clinical thinking develops, while the opposite leads to medical errors. The purpose of the review article is to determine the importance of anatomical research and data in practical medicine and biology. As materials for the study, the content of the reports of the All-Russian scientific and practical conference with international participation «Morphological aspects in practical medicine and biology», held on December 8, 2022 as part of the XIII National Congress with international participation «Ecology and human health in the North» was used. The conference was attended by researchers, teachers of morphological disciplines of medical universities in Russia (Moscow, Saint-Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Perm, Krasnoyarsk, Omsk, Yakutsk), invited, residents, graduate students. The conference discussed topical issues and strategic guidelines in the field of morphological scientific research in modern conditions, the popularization of scientific research in the field of morphology, the exchange of experience in improving the effectiveness of teaching morphological disciplines, the history of the development of higher medical school. An analysis of the reports presented at the conference showed that the morphological departments of medical universities need to develop the diversity and variability of ways to achieve educational results in modern learning conditions while expanding the independence and responsibility of educational organizations for the process and results of education; to introduce the scientific achievements of fundamental science into practice on the basis of joint scientific projects with clinical departments; develop and actively implement various ways and forms of popularization of medical knowledge among the population in order to familiarize society with the history of the development of higher medical education in the regions; study and implement the advanced pedagogical and scientific-methodological experience of the work of morphological departments, presented in the conference reports.
