Its participants were students from six of these universities who had completed full training in the section «Splanchnology» of human anatomy.
As part of the KRSU «Riders of the Turkish Saddle» team (under the guidance of Associate Professor of the Department of Anatomy and OHTA A.A. Beisembaeva) included excellent students, winners and prize-winners of university and international Olympiads Firuza Israilova (LD-9-18 group), Saikal Samaganova (LD-2-18), Svetlana Shevtsova (LD 13-18), Aidana Elemesova (SD 3-18), Alina Vasilchenko (LD-3-16) and Valeria Ivanina (LD-18-16).
According to the Olympic regulations, 10 competitions were held with 5 questions each:
• «Four pictures – one word» (guessing anatomical terms);
• «Sapienti sat» (interesting questions related to anatomy, – in style «What? Where? When?», brain ring, etc.);
• «Where is the logic?» (the slide showed several illustrations that encoded either an organ or an organ function; the command task is − to define it and write a term);
• «Theoretical anatomy» (questions on anatomy in the form of a test or tasks to which you need to give a detailed answer);
• «History of anatomy» (questions on the history of anatomy);
• «Etymology» (questions regarding the origin of anatomical terms);
• «Anatomical puzzles» (the puzzles that the team members solved received an anatomical term in Russian);
• «Anagrams» (a Latin term was required to be made up of the proposed letters);
• «Clinical anatomy» (the abnormality of the organ’s development should have been determined based on situational tasks);
• «Eponyms» (definition of the name of a phenomenon, concept, structure or method by the name of the person who first discovered or described them).
The emotions of the Olympiad participants were felt even through the screen, because only one minute was given for each question, and it was also necessary to enter and send an answer in a timely manner.
As a result, the KRSU team shared first place with the team of the First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov.
Congratulations to our female students on their first international victory in the new year 2021!
