Project-oriented learning on the Topic «Autism» for interns of ІGТDK-17-24 in the subject «psychiatry and narcology»

On March 12, 2025, a session was held at the Department of neurology, psychiatry, rehabilitation, and neurosurgery as part of the project-oriented learning program, dedicated to the relevant topic of «Autism». The session was conducted for the interns of ІGТDK-17-24 in the discipline of «psychiatry and narcology».
The session was prepared and conducted by the assistant of the Department, Ramanova Gulnafis Bakhytzhanovna, who not only presented the theoretical material but also created a practical task for students, aimed at researching and solving real clinical cases related to autism spectrum disorders. This approach contributes to the deep integration of theory and practice and is an important element of project-oriented learning.
Project-oriented learning is a crucial part of the educational strategy of the university, aimed at developing skills in students and interns to work in real-life problems and situations. During the session, participants not only studied the theoretical aspects of autism but also actively engaged in the analysis of specific cases, developing individual approaches and methods of working with patients. This allowed students to deepen their knowledge in the field of psychiatry, as well as develop critical thinking, teamwork, and practical diagnostic skills.
Faculty members and the teaching staff actively participated in discussions, which contributed to a deeper immersion in the topic and the expansion of educational horizons. The discussion of practical cases and the interns' suggestions on the treatment of autism patients proved beneficial for the teachers as well, providing an opportunity to exchange experiences and views on complex issues of psychiatric practice.
The project-oriented learning implemented at the department helps students not only master theoretical knowledge but also develop practical skills, preparing them for successful professional activities in psychiatry, narcology, and related fields. Such classes create conditions for better assimilation of material and the formation of competencies necessary for work in real medical practice.
