Organization of the educational process
[edit]The main goal of educational and methodical work at the university is to create conditions that contribute to improving the efficiency and quality of the educational process. Academic and methodological work is managed by the university's educational department. Methodological work at the university is a set of measures aimed at:- providing the educational process with educational and methodological documentation;- improving the pedagogical skills of teachers, improving classroom and independent work of students;- improvement of all forms, types and methods of educational work at the university, taking into account the state and prospects for the development of medical organizations and institutions for which the university trains specialists. Disciplines, courses at the university are taught in accordance with the working curricula of the disciplines. The content of work programs meets the requirements of educational and professional programs and standard training programs approved by the Central Methodological Commission for Higher Medical Education of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. The formed programs provide a systematic approach, in the process of which each discipline is studied not as an independent and independent one, but as part of a system aimed at training a specialist of a certain profile. End-to-end programs for mastering practical skills in all disciplines have been introduced into the educational process. The system of training specialists at the university meets the requirements of the current branch standards of Higher Education. Taking into account the professional and active principle of organizing training at the university, the availability, creation and replication of textbooks, guidelines and textbooks plays an important role. The departments have prepared and published guidelines for practical classes and independent training of students with algorithms for consistent mastery of practical skills, knowledge, skills, training and teaching aids. Training at Bukovinian State Medical University is carried out according to a credit-modular system, in accordance with the requirements of the Bologna Process. The credit-modular system for assessing students ' knowledge and skills has been applied for 6 years. The university has a mandatory system for monitoring the preparation of students and the quality of training (certification with test primary and exit levels, rating control). It includes: daily (test, oral, written, computer) control of the preparation of students of the academic group in each lesson (100%); boundary control of the assimilation of individual sections of the program; certification of students every month from the beginning of each semester with the determination of the average (rating) grade in each discipline; final test (exam) of preparation control. A mandatory element of training in clinical departments and conducting exams at them is the assessment of mastering practical skills and solving situational problems, which is regarded as an algorithm of a doctor's activity for a specific, specific situation and a specific sick person. The university departments have compiled software packages, test sets and questions of varying complexity that are used at different stages of monitoring student training, which are placed on the Moodle Distance Learning Server for ease of study.

Students Scientific Society (SSS)
[edit]The student scientific society (SSS) was established more than 60 years ago, a few years after the creation of the Chernivtsi Medical Institute (now Bukovinian State Medical University). From the very beginning, the society was a voluntary organization that plans and carries out its work under the leadership of the Scientific Department of the university. Since its foundation, the scientific society has been working in the following areas:
- assistance in organizing student research circles;
- comprehensive support of students ' scientific activities and ensuring an increase in the level of research;
- involvement of students in direct participation in research work at the university departments;
- participation in organizing and holding scientific forums and congresses, scientific and practical conferences and symposia, student subject Olympiads and competitions, as well as seminars and exhibitions;
- establishing international relations and cooperation with educational and research institutions, public and state organizations of Ukraine and other countries.
The second flourishing of the scientific society occurs in the nineties, and is due to the development of democracy in the country. The society's activities have always been coordinated by the best university teachers. From 1995 to 2001, the Council of young scientists and the work of the SSS was headed by candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Medical Biology and Genetics Taras Boychuk. During 2001–2008, Igor Ivanovich Zamorsky, doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Pharmacology, was the chairman of the Council of young scientists and scientific director of the SSS. In 2008, Doctor of medical sciences, professor of the Department of Cardiology, rehabilitation, physical therapy and sports medicine Tatyana A. Ilashchuk also performed the SSS duties. Since 2009, the work of the SSS and young scientists has been coordinated by candidate of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Department of Medical Biology, Genetics and Histology Larisa Fedonyuk. During its activity, the SSS of BSMU has adequately represented the university at scientific events not only in Ukraine, but also far beyond its borders. The culmination of the organizational activity of the SSS Council and the daily hard work of students-Circle members is the final scientific conference. It has come a long way from the usual annual forum of students and young scientists of the university, first to the All-Ukrainian student conference with international participation, and then (since 2004) to an international conference. In 2009, the conference was first included in the Register of scientific congresses, congresses, symposia and scientific and practical conferences. Not only the geography of the conference, which currently has 23 countries, has expanded, but also its theme: the conference has grown from a medical conference to a medical and pharmaceutical one. The event involves the work of 37 sections of theoretical and clinical areas, where the results of research by young scientists are heard, current and promising problems of modern medicine are considered. The results of the conference are summed up at the plenary session, which, traditionally, takes place in the elegant hall of the Academic Palace. The most active participants of the SSS and the Council of young scientists of BSMU are the organizers of the BIMCO Scientific Forum (Bukovinian international medical conference, since 2013 — Bukovinian international medical congress). In 2018, 1,556 participants from 75 educational institutions from 23 countries participated in BIMCO. 37 clinical masterclasses and workshops were held. The SSS of Bukovinian State Medical University looks to the future with confidence, we believe that what we have done will help students and young scientists realize their potential, help them achieve their goals, and lay a good foundation for future achievements.

Historical and medical museum
[edit]The museum was founded in 1968. He started its work with a small exhibition dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Chernivtsi State Medical Institute in Bukovina. The exhibition was located in the small conference hall of the administrative and educational building (Teatralnaya Square, 2). The museum-room worked on a voluntary basis under the supervision of associate professor of the Department of Health Organization Boris Yakovlevich Drobnis until 1982. In 1987, the museum resumed its work as a full-time division of the Medical Institute and worked under the supervision of associate professor of the Department of Anatomy Grigory Grigoryevich Fischer until 1992. To accommodate the museum, a special hall was allocated in the reconstructed building of the Department of Medical Biology and Genetics on Yu. Fedkovich Street. In 1992–1993, the duties of the head of the museum were performed concurrently by Senior Laboratory Assistant of this department Natalia Aleksandrovna Vysochina. In 1993, V. I. Belous, assistant of the Department of Social Medicine and Health Care, was appointed director of the museum. In connection with the preparations for the 50th anniversary of Chernivtsi Medical Institute in Bukovina, a new permanent exhibition of the museum was created, which reflected only the beginning of the formation and activity of the second Kiev State Medical Institute (2nd KSMI) after its relocation in October 1944 to Chernivtsi. Part of the exhibition was dedicated to outstanding scientists of the Institute and its glorious graduates. Since 1995, for the first time, a thorough study of the history of the foundation and activities of Chernivtsi Medical Institute and documents of the State Archive of Ukraine, the State Archive of Kiev, and the State Archive of the Chernivtsi region began. Collected during 1995–1998, numerous and interesting historical documents, objects, and photographs needed a larger area for their placement and display to visitors. Therefore, in 1998, three halls with a total area of more than 300 square meters were allocated to accommodate the museum in student dormitory No. 5. In 1999, the museum staff included a researcher (0.75 rates) and a laboratory assistant (0.25 rates), a cleaner. After the restoration and repair of Academic Palace it was transferred to the Bukovina State Medical Academy, and in 2004 the museum was transferred and placed in the basement of the palace building. Since 2004, the museum has 5 halls with a total area of 320 m2 and auxiliary rooms, a computer and audio and video equipment. Allocated premises and material and technical equipment allow you to create proper conditions for preserving, studying and exhibiting the museum collection. The museum receives scientific and methodological support from the Chernivtsi Museum of Local Lore. The museum is included and has been a member of the European Association of Museums of the history of Medicine and Pharmacy since 2002. Every year, the museum is visited by more than 5,000 people — students, schoolchildren, university guests, participants of scientific conferences, university graduates during their meetings, residents and guests of the city. The museum is open daily from 9.00 to 17.00. Days off: Saturday, Sunday. Guided tours are available on request on all days of the week.
