Emergency Medical Services Graduates' Professional Oath
A particularly solemn and symbolic moment of the ceremony was the taking of the professional oath by the graduates of the Emergency Medical Services programme.
The graduates pledged to perform the profession of an emergency medical rescuer with dignity, protect human life and health, provide assistance to those in need, and act with respect for the dignity of every patient.
The oath also included commitments to uphold the principles of professional ethics, continuously develop professional skills, practise in accordance with current medical knowledge, maintain professional confidentiality, and cooperate with other healthcare professionals with respect and goodwill.
It was a significant moment, highlighting the responsibility associated with the profession of an emergency medical rescuer and the graduates' readiness to provide assistance in situations involving threats to health and life.
Musical Setting of the Ceremony
Following the official part of the event, participants enjoyed an artistic performance by Marta Sitek, leader of the band Need For Strings. The ensemble combines the energy of rock and metal music with the sound of classical string instruments.
The performance provided a moment of reflection and relaxation and served as a distinctive complement to the ceremonial atmosphere of the event.
Presentation of Diplomas
The highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of diplomas to graduates of the Cosmetology, Emergency Medical Services, and Physiotherapy programmes.
The graduates were invited onto the stage one by one to receive their diplomas from the Vice-Deans, thesis supervisors, academic staff, and representatives of the WSB University authorities. Each presentation was accompanied by congratulations, applause, and commemorative photographs.
For the graduates, this was a symbolic moment marking the completion of an important stage of their education and the beginning of a new chapter of professional development, further education, and gaining experience within their chosen specialisations.
The ceremony concluded with closing remarks by Prof. Marcin Lis. Following the official proceedings, participants were invited to take group photographs, family pictures at the commemorative photo wall, and enjoy refreshments.
