The "Young Scientist" competition, organized by Astana Medical University, was held at the Multidisciplinary Children's Hospital №2 in the capital. More than 20 master's students and residents from leading medical universities in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan participated in the event.
Young specialists presented research on pressing medical issues, including modern respiratory therapy methods for premature infants, the effects of energy drinks on the body, aspects of vaccination, anemia, rare syndromes, and other pediatric diseases.
The participants' presentations sparked lively discussions among the jury, which consisted of experienced doctors and faculty members, including Professor S. N. Uraova, d.m.s., Head of the Department of Family Medicine №3 at AMU; Professor L. V. Lim, d.m.s., from the Department of Pediatric Diseases with Courses in Cardiorheumatology and Gastroenterology at AMU; and Associate Professor M. R. Gatauova, c.m.s., from the Department of Pediatric Diseases with Courses in Allergology, Hematology, and Endocrinology at AMU.
Each research project demonstrated a high level of preparation, but after extensive deliberations, the best works were selected.
