The
Students’ Scientific Society is an organization of medical students
and interns engaged in the work of Students’ Scientific Circles operating
in almost all departments of the University. They carry out laboratory
experiments /in vitro and on animals/, conduct clinical research and
acquire practical skills. All this usually leads to preparing scientific
papers/ results of research work, demonstrative, case histories /which
are later on presented at student conferences, both home and abroad.
Some of the students are co-authors of publications in
Polish and foreign professional journals. Active participation in
the activities is often a departure point for future careers in the
field of science, and a significant part of one’s CV.
