Classes in the Medical programme are conducted by experienced specialists and practitioners with many years of experience from highly specialised healthcare institutions cooperating with WSB University, representing many different fields of medicine: anaesthesiology, family medicine, endocrinology, diabetology, surgery, orthopaedics, haematology, radiotherapy, psychiatry, dentistry, as well as pathomorphology, anatomy, epidemiology, and biostatistics.

Outstanding professors with impressive scientific achievements strive to convey to young adepts of medicine what is important in scientific and clinical life and to sensitise them to situations they may encounter in their future medical practice. The academic teaching staff prepare students for contact with patients who very often require interdisciplinary care.

The programme includes education in the fields of:

• Morphological sciences (e.g., anatomy, histology, embryology)
• Scientific foundations of medicine (e.g., biophysics, molecular biology, biochemistry with elements of chemistry, physiology, elements of pathophysiology)
• Pre-clinical sciences (e.g., genetics, microbiology, immunology, pharmacology with toxicology)
• Behavioural and social sciences (e.g., sociology of medicine, medical psychology, history of medicine, English language)
• Non-surgical clinical sciences (e.g., paediatrics, internal medicine, psychiatry, dermatology, oncology, infectious diseases, rehabilitation)
• Surgical sciences (e.g., general surgery, anaesthesiology)
• Legal and organisational aspects of medicine (e.g., hygiene, epidemiology, public health, medical law, forensic medicine)

Collegium Medicum of WSB University guarantees unique training for future physicians, ensuring thorough preparation for the use of modern techniques in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of patients.

Students of the Medical programme have broad access to research equipment, diverse patient populations, and modern technology used in both diagnostics and therapy, such as the innovative Aeos surgical exoscope, non-invasive radiological procedures using the Gamma Knife, modern imaging diagnostic equipment such as CT and MRI scanners, and the advanced gamma radiation detector Gamma Finder. In partner hospitals, audiovisual rooms enable real-time transmission of images from operating theatres and procedure rooms, allowing students to observe procedures as they are performed.

Clinical classes and professional placements for students of the Medical programme are provided in 14 partner healthcare institutions with an established position and multidisciplinary activity, providing services in the following areas:

• Providing 24-hour inpatient hospital treatment services in all fields, including specialised areas

• Conducting emergency medical services, including specialised and basic emergency response teams
• Preparing students in oncological treatment to provide services in radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, with access to nuclear medicine departments equipped with PET
• Providing broad access to laboratory diagnostics with specialised laboratories in microbiology, tumour markers, immunodiagnostics, toxicology, parasitology, haematology, biochemistry, and others
• Enabling access to departments of pathomorphology, anatomical pathology units, and histopathology laboratories with mortuaries located in five locations, guaranteeing access to dissection rooms and allowing students to participate as observers in autopsies

The study programme includes compulsory and elective classes that enable students to acquire not only specialised theoretical knowledge but also practical skills and social competences, including proper communication with patients and the ability to work in various therapeutic and research teams.

In the sixth year of studies, practical clinical teaching takes place in hospital wards in the fields of internal medicine, paediatrics, surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics, psychiatry, emergency medicine, family medicine, and the specialty chosen by the student.

Students combine passion with knowledge, learning with practice, and an individual approach to the patient using modern technologies in medicine.

Graduates of the Medical programme of the Collegium Medicum of WSB University find employment without difficulty, as they possess comprehensive knowledge and high competences necessary to practise as physicians. They are very well prepared for the Medical Final Examination (LEK), the result of which is one of the criteria in the qualification process for specialist training within a residency. Graduates of the Medical programme will have the opportunity to undertake specialist training in detailed medical specialties.

WSB University offers graduates:

• Interesting postgraduate studies where they can continue their education
• The development of a scientific career through doctoral studies
• The possibility of applying for the academic degree of Doctor in several scientific disciplines

Graduates will be prepared to provide services in institutions of various profiles, such as:

• Public and non-public healthcare institutions
• Institutions providing hospital and outpatient medical services at various levels of reference
• Universities
• Scientific and research institutes
• Health protection institutions, including units involved in certification and sanitary supervision

Studies in the Medical programme at WSB University last six years and lead to the award of the professional title of physician. The diploma, together with the diploma supplement, are documents that open the door to starting a postgraduate internship, which is the first stage after studies involving practical work with patients.

To begin the internship, it is necessary to obtain a limited licence to practise medicine (OPWZ). For this purpose, one should contact the appropriate Regional Chamber of Physicians – preferably the one in which the internship is planned. Information about the required documents and deadlines is also available at provincial offices in the health departments.

After completing the internship, the time comes for the Medical Final Examination (LEK). This is a nationwide examination confirming the knowledge gained during studies and practice. All details regarding registration, the course of the examination, and results are available on the website of the Medical Examination Centre (https://www.cem.edu.pl).

After passing the LEK and obtaining full authorisation to practise medicine, one may begin specialist training in the chosen field of medicine. The recruitment process is conducted via the Medical Personnel Education Monitoring System (SMK) (https://smk.ezdrowie.gov.pl). Detailed information, schedules, and recruitment rules are available on the website of the Ministry of Health (https://www.gov.pl/web/zdrowie/specjalizacje-lekarskie).

The organisation of specialist training and specialist examinations (PES) is the responsibility of the Medical Centre of Postgraduate Education (https://www.cmkp.edu.pl).

Although this path may seem long, there is no need to fear it. Each stage is a natural continuation of the previous one, and a well-designed support system allows it to be completed smoothly. WSB University provides solid preparation – both theoretical and practical – thanks to which our graduates enter the profession with confidence and readiness for further development.

The education programme in the medical programme prepared by Akademia WSB guarantees the preparation of students capable of providing professional patient care. Both the teaching content and the wide involvement of practitioners – physicians meeting the legal requirements – in conducting specialised and clinical subjects, together with the base of several multidisciplinary healthcare institutions for conducting practical classes and placements, guarantee that the established long-cycle Master's degree programme in the field of Medicine with a general academic profile at Akademia WSB will meet the highest standards in terms of the quality of education, and that the graduates will possess the knowledge, skills and competences to practise the profession of physician in accordance with the Act on the professions of physician and dentist.
