Clinical classes and internships take place in teaching hospitals, and the Faculty offers many facultative modules in fundamental, pre-clinical and clinical sciences, so you can follow your own interests.
You are prepared for the Polish Medical Licensing Examination (LEK), whose results determine where future specialist doctors can begin their residency.
