Visit of the Student Scientific Society of Ivano-Frankivsk National MedicalUniversity to TNMU

On February 22-23, 2025, the Student Scientific Society of Ternopil National Medical University
hosted a delegation from the Student Scientific Society of Ivano-Frankivsk National Medical
University. The delegation included Nelia Valovina (Deputy Head of the SSS Council for the
Medical Faculty), Alina Semkiv (Deputy Head of the SSS Council for the Professional Medical
College of IFNMU), Oleksandr Kornutii (Secretary of the SSS Council), and SSS Council
members Viktoriia Alexandruk, Yelyzaveta Khoina, Maksym Hnatyuk, and Vasyl
Kozakevych.

The TNMU Student Scientific Society was represented by Viktoriia Miroshnyk (Head of the SSS
Council), Oleksandr Mihenko (Head of the International and National Scientific Programs Sector),
along with Danylo Kutsenko and Nadiia Stratiuk, members of the same sector.

Exploring TNMU’s Educational Resources
During their visit, IFNMU students toured TNMU’s Simulation Training Center, one of the
university’s most advanced educational platforms. The TNMU SSS Council sincerely thanked the
center’s director, Antonina Chervatiuk, for an engaging and informative tour. Guests were
introduced to the teaching methodologies, equipment, and simulation-based training techniques
used to model pathological conditions and diseases through simulators that closely mimic real-life
clinical situations.

Additionally, the delegation visited TNMU’s academic buildings. At the administrative building,
students explored lecture halls and the museum dedicated to Professor Leonid Kovalchuk and
observed a regional pre-medical aid training session for Plast scouts organized by TNMU students.
In the morphological building, they had the opportunity to visit the Human Anatomy Museum.

Roundtable Discussion and Future Cooperation
The highlight of the visit was a roundtable discussion, where participants discussed key aspects of
developing student scientific societies and enhancing their collaboration. Topics included the
organization of annual congresses, experience exchange in scientific events, and improving
operational efficiency. Both teams shared best practices, explored opportunities for joint initiatives,
and agreed on strengthening future cooperation.

This visit was not only insightful but also highly beneficial for all participants. The exchange of
experiences, discussions on important matters, and joint planning confirmed that our societies share
common goals and aspirations.

We hope this meeting marks the beginning of a close and productive partnership, creating new
opportunities for students, facilitating collaborative projects, and strengthening ties between our
universities. We eagerly anticipate future meetings and joint initiatives!
