The teachers of the biophysics course of the Department of Normal Physiology Nurtayeva G.K., Shakhantayeva A.A. and Almabayeva N.M. organized a joint event with the teaching staff of the Physics and Technology Faculty of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
The event was actively attended by first-year students of the specialty “Medicine” of the KazNMU named after S.D. Asfendiyarov, groups Med 24-023, Med 24-024 and first-year students of the specialty “Technical Physics” of the Physics and Technology Faculty of the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
An open educational hour was held on the topic “Physics and Medicine: Scientific Foundations of Health” with the aim of forming a healthy lifestyle culture. The main goal of the event is to convey to young people the importance of a healthy lifestyle, as well as to show the role of physics and medicine in maintaining human health.
During the event, students presented scientific and educational presentations they had prepared. Particular attention was paid to the relationship between the functioning of vital human organs — the heart and the brain — and the laws of physics. Students explained how Bernoulli’s law, Poiseuille’s law, electrical impulses and potential differences are related to the functioning of the cardiovascular system and the human brain.
In addition, our students demonstrated practical skills in providing first aid. They talked about the rules and procedures for providing first aid for heart disease and other emergency conditions and demonstrated the procedure in practice.
The event was held at a high substantive level and contributed to the active involvement of the participants. In conclusion, students from the two universities asked each other questions and exchanged experiences. Such events not only reveal the importance of physics and medicine in human life, but also contribute to the development of students’ horizons, allowing them to combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
In addition, such meetings help students not only to deepen their knowledge, but also to acquire vital skills, to feel the close connection between science and medicine and to realize the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The educational hour was organized at a high level and fully achieved the set goals.
