The educational and methodological department of SEI "Avicenna Tajik State Medical University" has established academic exchanges with higher professional educational institutions from near and far abroad to improve the quality of education and strengthen student learning. Every week, with the involvement of medical scientists from Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Russian Federation and others, the University organizes useful lessons-lectures for students in virtual form. Such a virtual lesson (online) was held in the Institute of Fundamental Medicine on the topic "Drugs affecting the functions of respiratory organs" with the use of modern interactive method by Udalova S.N., c.m.s., associate professor of the department of pharmacology of the Kursk State Medical University, Russian Federation.

This topic is not without benefit for medical students in the mountainous conditions of the country, as the country's medicinal plants are useful for treating all kinds of diseases. The President of the Republic of Tajikistan His excellency Emomali Rahmon in his regular Message to Majlisi Oli expressed concern that 90 percent of medicines are imported from abroad, while our medicinal herbs are produced in other countries, and medicines produced by us

In this regard, it was decided that such classes and lectures will continue to be organized and conducted with the involvement of scientists and health professionals within and outside the country.
