To date, the department has 7 classrooms. The total area of the department has increased to 369 sq. m.

 The Department of Pathophysiology is provided with training equipment, has a sufficient number of microscopes, kimographs, three computers, multimedia computer equipment, television screens, etc. This technique is used during lectures to demonstrate slides that present the most up-to-date views on the etiology and pathogenesis of the main pathological processes and diseases. 

The Department of Pathophysiology is an inter-faculty one. Pathophysiology is taught at the departments of general medicine (3rd year), pediatric (3rd year), dental (2nd year), preventive medicine (3rd year) and pharmaceutical (3rd year). In addition, students of 4 courses of medical and pediatric faculties are taught a course of clinical pathophysiology.

 Teaching of pathological physiology is carried out according to the approved work programs in the specialties 31.05.01 “General Medicine”, 31.05.02 “Pediatrics”, 31.05.03″ Dentistry “– 32.05.01″ Medical and preventive care”, 33.05.01″ Pharmacy ” in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard 3+ and Federal State Educational Standard 3++.

Currently, the department uses and implements modern, highly informative research methods such as immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction, enzyme immunoassay, and the immunoblot method. There are acts of implementation. These methods are used when performing planned candidate and doctoral dissertations. The Department of Pathophysiology of DSMU closely cooperates in scientific terms with the Institute of Immunology of the Federal Health Service of the Russian Federation, the Institute of Rheumatology, the Scientific and Clinical Center of Otorhinolaryngology, Moscow State University. With these institutions, the Department of Pathophysiology of DSMU has concluded agreements on scientific and technical cooperation, in which the head of the Department of Pathophysiology, prof.

Student science circle

The department has a student scientific circle, which is attended by more than 20 students of the 3rd-6th courses of medical, pediatric and 3-5 courses of dental faculties.

The members of the circle, along with the abstract works, conduct independent experimental research on the topics developed by the staff of the department. The results of scientific work are reported at meetings of the SSS pathophysiological circle, at conferences of the SSC, as well as outside the university. From 1967 to 2000, the members of the circle performed 152 works. A number of works of members of the student scientific circle at the Department of Pathophysiology were awarded with diplomas and certificates at the All-Union (Kharkiv, 1969; Moscow, 1970; Minsk, 1971; Cheboksary, 1976; Makhachkala, 1991, etc.), republican and university (Ivanovo, 1976; Tomsk, 1978; Cheboksary, 1977, 1978; Nalchik, 1977; Yerevan, 1979; Simferopol, 1980; Moscow, 1982, Voronezh, 2009, Yerevan, 2010).

 Over the past 10 years, the All-Union Student Conference on Cardiovascular Physiology and Pathology (1991) and 4 reporting conferences of young scientists and students of DSMA (1992, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2015-2016, 2017-2019) have been held.

 At the student scientific conference in April 2019, 5 reports with illustrative material were presented from the Department of Pathophysiology (presentation).

The head of the circle since the founding of the SSC, was the head of the department, prof. M. Z. Saidov. Scientific works are carried out with the personal participation of circle members, with subsequent publications. SSC meetings are held monthly.
