Course Description

Course Profile

The 6-Year MD Program is for high school graduates and for college/university graduates. At the end of the program, the graduates are awarded the MD degree and receive a medical diploma (dyplom lekarski) recognized in Poland, the European Union, USA, Canada and most other countries around the world.

– The program includes 3 pre-clinical years (lectures, seminars and practical classes) and 3 clinical years (clinical classes in hospitals with patients, Medical Simulation Centre, and internships).

– Student clinical training at 6 University clinical hospitals and affiliated ones across Warsaw.

– Teaching that goes beyond standard requirements (more than 5900 hours and 60 ECTS per year).

– Upon completion of each year of studies (Years 1–5), students are required to take a summer practical training which is mandatory and included in the curriculum. These trainings can be completed at recognized institutions worldwide.

On Year 6, students do not complete summer practical training. Instead, they participate in a specialization module (specialty), which is part of the regular academic schedule and constitutes compulsory didactic classes, not a summer practical training.

Students complete a Register of Student Skills essential for medical practice. Basic science and pre-medical training of the English Division students are provided in the form of lectures, seminars, and practical classes by more than 70 departments and clinics of the Medical University of Warsaw. Clinical training takes place at the 6 University hospitals, the University’s Medical Simulation Center and at affiliated hospitals.

Throughout the 6-Year MD Program, students are assessed on their knowledge and skills. The learning process of the students is supervised by the teaching staff during their entire education and training at the Medical University of Warsaw.

Medical students’ theoretical knowledge is checked in the form of tests, and written and oral exams at the end of each course. Practical clinical skills are regularly evaluated in order to ensure effective high-quality training. Students graduate with a completed Register of Student Skills essential for medical practice.

All the teaching staff of the English Division are employed either on a full-time basis or on a part-time basis. They also work as researchers or medical practitioners at the Medical University of Warsaw’s basic science, pre-clinical and clinical departments.
