Relevance. The current stage of development of higher medical education is characterized by the need to integrate scientific, clinical, and educational activities into a unified innovation ecosystem. In countries with dynamically developing healthcare systems, the ability of universities not only to generate new knowledge but also to transform it into concrete products plays a key role: patents, diagnostic and treatment methods, and medical devices. Study Objective: To conduct a systematic assessment of TashPMI's scientific and educational potential in terms of commercialization and identify key areas for transforming research results into marketable products.
Materials and Methods: Stage I (2023) — an online survey of all 38 TashPMI departments using a structured 13-item questionnaire. Questions covered the presence of strategic directions, the level of administrative support, experience interacting with industry, the presence of patents and electronic computing model, and examples of successful implementations.
Stage II (2024) — an in-depth analysis of 88 faculty members from 13 clinical departments, including: age, length of service, academic degrees and titles, publication activity (Scopus, Web of Science), number of patents and electronic computing model, participation in research microgroups and grant projects.
Results. Key barriers: lack of funding — 45%; bureaucratic procedures — 30%; weak institutional support — 25%. Comparative analysis: departments with a developed system of research microgroups and international publications demonstrate greater commercialization potential.
Conclusions. The study confirms that TashPMI has a highly qualified talent pool and the intellectual resources for successful commercialization.
