The very name of the Schoolchildren’s Medical Tournament encodes the essence and format of the event: it is a tournament in the “speaker-opponent-reviewer” format for schoolchildren who want to realize themselves in the field of medicine. The roles of the participants allow them to fully demonstrate their abilities in solving clinical or fundamental problems: the skill of finding the necessary information in scientific sources, oratorical skills, the presence of basic fundamental knowledge, the ability to conduct a discussion.
The ITS includes a Selection and Final Stage: in the first, participants must solve two or more problems in the form of a presentation, where the children mainly use diagrams and illustrations to answer questions, and in the second, there is a face-to-face competition, where they must solve at least 8 problems out of 10.
The top three teams in the final included teams from the city of Tyumen, the national team SUNC NSU took fourth place.
— I would like to note one feature of the teams in this year’s tournament. Despite the fact that most of the participants were beginners (i.e. they were participating for the first time or represented grades 9-10), their level of knowledge was almost equal to that of medical students. They were very well versed in the material and reasoned like real specialists, — commented Maria Shperling, a fourth-year student. Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, NSU and the chairman of the organizing committee.
The medical tournament of schoolchildren appeared and still exists due to the active work of the organizing committee, consisting of proactive medical students, with the support of the administration of the Faculty of Medicine and Psychology of NSU. The first season of the project took place back in 2019, and three tournaments, including this year’s MTS, have already been implemented with the support of Rosmolodezh.Granty.
— What do schoolchildren get by participating in the tournament? As the Chairman of the Methodological and Expert Commission, I would like to say first of all about acquiring the skill of working with information, new useful acquaintances and knowledge received from the expert commission. It is also important that the guys get a chance to get in touch with the unusual student life of our faculty, their career guidance in a rather unusual and therefore as close to medicine format as possible also plays a role. At the MTS, we always say that medicine is only for love, so we really want to show this world of endless knowledge, experience and discoveries in its real form: complex, controversial, but full of love and teamwork, — shared Evgeniya Kholdina, a 4th-year student of the specialty “General Medicine” and the Chairman of the Expert and Methodological Commission of the MTS.
In addition to practical skills, participants can count on additional advantages when entering NSU in the form of points for individual achievements:
3 points – for all participants of the Final Stage,

10 – for the winners.
Points are valid for two years for prize winners and winners of both individual and team competitions.
Students of all years participate in the organization of the Medical Tournament of Schoolchildren direction “General Medicine” Faculty of Medicine and Psychology of NSU and residency.
As Evgeniya Kholdina says, there are participants, prize winners and winners of the tournament in more than one course of our faculty, and the organizing committee is almost half made up of MTShat. With the right competencies, anyone can become an organizer, an expert, a task writer and a volunteer.
— We try to create comfortable conditions for the guests of our university every year, but we never forget that we are an Olympiad, after all, so a revolution of consciousness, a couple of new convolutions and a wagon of knowledge await each participant. For NSU students, this is a unique chance to prove themselves, we all have warm feelings for this event and are preparing to meet future NSU students, as well as bright minds of the scientific and medical community, — added Evgeniya Kholdina.
