congresses, symposia and scientific conferences for the first time. Not only the geography of the conference including now seven countries Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania and Italy expanded, but also its topics: a medical conference developed into medical and pharmaceutical one. The conference involves the work of 18 units in theoretical and clinical directions, which discusses the results of studies of young scientists, and examines current and future problems of modern medicine. The results of the conferences are discussed at the plenary session, which traditionally takes place in the hall of the Palace "Academichny." Students Scientific Society (SSS) The student scientific society (SSS) was established more than 60 years ago, a few years after the creation of the Chernivtsi Medical Institute (now Bukovinian State Medical University). From the very beginning, the society was a voluntary organization that plans and carries out its work under the leadership of the Scientific Department of the University.

The society's activities have always been coordinated by the best university teachers.
