The advanced training program on medical rehabilitation of oncological patients was completed at Pirogov University

The rich program was devoted to topical issues of medical rehabilitation of patients with oncological diseases of the CNS. The participants delved into the topic under the expert guidance of Olga Laisheva, Professor of the Department of Rehabilitation, Sports Medicine and Physical Training at the Z.P. Solovyov Institute of Preventive Medicine, as well as teachers from Pirogov University and practicing specialists from the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital - a branch of the N.I. Pirogov Russian National Research Institute of Medical Sciences of the Russian Ministry of Health.

According to Olga Laisheva, such educational initiatives play a key role in promoting optimal interaction between different participants of the rehabilitation process — the Foundation, the University, and course participants from different regions of Russia. 

As part of the program, the participants learned about advanced technologies and practices in the field of rehabilitation. They had a tour of the University and saw the laboratory for the development of “Exokisti” — an innovative brain-computer interface for the restoration of motor functions. 

A special impression was made by a visit to the treatment and rehabilitation scientific center “Russian Field” of the Dmitry Rogachev National Medical Research Center for Children's Hematology, Oncology and Immunology, where modern approaches to rehabilitation of cancer patients are implemented.
