15 years of Medical Faculty II
Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poland
(former: Karol Marcinkowski University of Medical Sciences)
Following a decision of the University Senate, a separate Faculty of Medicine consisting
of three Divisions, namely those of Medical Education in English, Dentistry and Postgraduate
Medical Education was established in February 1992.
The project got under way in September 1993 with the arriving of the first group of
students from America and Canada who came to Poznan to study medicine in our 4-year
MD Program in English. This program is designed for premedical college graduates, is
based on the American curriculum and was planned for an initial intake of approximately
25 students per annum. However, now the class size is approximately 70 students due to
the increased popularity of the program. Since a very beginning some 500 students have
entered the 4-year MD Program. So far, more than 250 have received their MD diplomas
and most have passed the U.S. licensing examinations and been accepted for residencies
in American hospitals.
After this successful start, a 6-year MD Program in English, based on the
Polish/European model, was introduced 2 years later with the entry of a small group of Greek
students in 1995. Over the years the size and composition of entry has grown and changed
so that the current intake of students has also reached 70, mostly from Scandinavia but
including some students from other European countries and increasing number of students
from America. So far almost 400 students have entered the 6-year MD Program and more
than 100 have received their MD diplomas.
In 2001 we introduced a 5-year DDS program in English. On graduation these
students will be eligible to practice in any of the 25 countries of the European Union or, by
completing a statutory 2-year period of training in an American dental school, in the U.S.
Some 150 students have entered this program so far and 8 have received diplomas.
In addition to these undergraduate programs Faculty II fulfills all the graduate
obligations laid down in the University statutes and defined in the relevant Polish laws.
Thus, in 1993, the Faculty was granted the authority to award higher degrees in medicine,
dentistry and medical biology. In the past years the Faculty has awarded more than 500
PhD’s, 80 individuals have had their additional higher degrees (habilitation) recognized
by the Polish Central Committee for Scientific Degrees and the title of Professor has been
conferred upon 54 members of the Faculty.
Recent achievements include national accreditation of our dental program, receiving
authority from the Ministry of Health to organize obligatory specialized postgraduate
courses and the construction of a fine new building for the Dental School, the first custom
built one in Poland.
None of these projects could have been successful without the efforts of a dedicated
group of people who believed in the high quality of Polish medical education and the
professional skills of our academic staff. This group includes Professors Pruszewicz and
Wiktor (our School representative in America) who initiated the project, successive Rectors
and Deans who brought it to fruition and the continuing efforts of all the teachers taking
part in it. An invaluable contribution has also been made by the students themselves who
have been responsible for many of the improvements made to the various programs over
the past decade.
Finally, our claims of success are not without foundation. In several national surveys
the Poznan University of Medical Sciences was voted the best Medical School in Poland in
2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005. We have made a good start and are determined to do everything
in our power to ensure that when we send our graduates out into the world they are fully
equipped to serve their patients with the knowledge, skill and dedication they deserve.
