title: Students' research and scientific activity at the Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University in Bratislava.
abstract: The Faculty of Medicine of the Comenius University in Bratislava commemorated the 85th Anniversary of its foundation. In the context of this anniversary the authors draw attention to an important component of the scientific life at the Faculty of Medicine, Comenius University--namely the Students scientific and research activity "SSARA." The commencement of SSARA is related to the Youth creativity contest. The first Faculty conference was held in 1950 as a all-faculty activity. One would say this conference has started the students scientific work at the faculty. In 1956 was the Students scientific board (SSB) instituted, headed by the Board of SSB. In 1967/68 a joint conference with JMF CU took place in Martin. At present one can say that SSARA at the Faculty of Medicine CU, Bratislava inspired not only faculties of CU, but also other faculties of the former Czechoslovakia to start with this activity. SSARA has become an important extension of the study and a preparation for diploma thesis. In consequence with application of credit forms of study we are in preparation of conditions allowing SSARA to become a part of optional forms of study. (Ref. 15.)
