Roundtable "Recent Innovations in Medicine": From Artificial Intelligence to Genetic Engineering

On October 28, a large-scale roundtable discussion in English, "Recent Innovations in Medicine," was held at Tula State University as part of the "Lingva" English Language Club.
The main goal of the meeting was to develop English speaking skills, maintain a friendly atmosphere in the multinational student community, and share knowledge about cutting-edge medical technologies.
The event brought together first-year medical students from the Institute of International Education and students enrolled in the professional retraining program "Translator in Professional Communication." The event was organized by Maksim Vladimirovich Lunev, Head of the Department of Foreign Languages, and senior lecturers Olga Viktorovna Filimonova, Maria Vladimirovna Karaseva, and Polina Vladimirovna Kuzina.
During the main part of the event, Russian students presented a number of insightful papers. The presentations covered the most pressing areas of modern medicine, such as genetic engineering, the development and application of a tuberculosis vaccine, 3D printing technologies in medicine, robotic surgery and liquid-phase biopsy, artificial intelligence in medicine, and others.
The presentations generated keen interest from the audience and were followed by lively discussion. Following the presentations, the program included an intellectual quiz on innovative areas in medicine, with complex and highly specialized questions for in-depth discussion. This facilitated a productive dialogue between the linguistics students and future physicians.
At the end of the meeting, the faculty posed a creative question to the participants: "If you could create any new technology to help humanity, what would it be?" The students' responses demonstrated genuine interest. The students proposed the creation of high-tech prosthetics, new developments in organ transplantation, reconstruction technologies, and more.
The roundtable concluded with a summary and the awarding of certificates for active participation. The event clearly demonstrated that students are ready to discuss the most complex scientific and ethical challenges of our time in a foreign language, and that the synergy between linguistics and medicine opens up new opportunities and horizons for intercultural communication.
