This intensive one-week program is specifically designed to provide a critical foundational overview of core subjects that are paramount to your success in the first year of study. The curriculum will encompass essential introductory material in:
• Anatomy
• Embryology
• Molecular Biology
• General Chemistry
• Biophysics
• Biochemistry

A significant advantage of this course is the inclusion of a practical suturing skills workshop. This session provides an invaluable early introduction to fundamental clinical techniques, fostering manual dexterity and professional confidence.

The strategic benefits of attendance are multifold:

1. Academic Acclimatisation: Early exposure to complex terminologies and concepts will facilitate a smoother transition into the pace and depth of the medical curriculum.
2. Competitive Advantage: Students who participate will enter the first semester with enhanced preparedness, allowing for greater depth of understanding from the outset.
3. Skill Development: The acquisition of basic practical skills before the start of formal classes provides a tangible head start in your clinical training.
4. Cohort Building: The course serves as an excellent forum to establish connections with future peers, fostering a collaborative learning community.
5. Confidence & Motivation: Participation in the course will foster confidence at the very start of your studies and help you approach the demanding medical curriculum with a strong sense of motivation and purpose.

Starting your medical studies is an exciting and life-changing step — but it can also feel challenging. Medical Poland's Preparatory Course is designed to give you a head start before your first semester, building your confidence in key subjects and essential practical skills. Over eight intensive days, you'll deepen your understanding of the foundations of medicine and get a taste of what student life at Collegium Medicum will be like

Course Topics:

🔬 Molecular Biology
Explore the molecular mechanisms that sustain life. You'll learn about DNA and RNA structure and function, protein synthesis, and cellular processes, laying a strong foundation for understanding disease at the molecular level — a core element of modern medicine.

👶 Embryology
Study the earliest stages of human development, from fertilization to organ formation. Understanding embryology not only prepares you for anatomy and pathology but also enhances your knowledge of congenital disorders and prenatal health.

🫀 Anatomy
Get a head start on one of the most fundamental subjects in medicine. This introduction will help you learn anatomical terminology, body systems, and basic structural relationships, making the transition into detailed anatomy studies much smoother.

⚛️ Biophysics
Understand the physical principles that underpin biological processes. From biomechanics to fluid dynamics in the circulatory system, biophysics bridges the gap between physics and medicine, helping you interpret diagnostic technologies and treatment methods.

🧪 General Chemistry
Refresh and expand your chemistry knowledge — including chemical bonds, reactions, and the properties of biomolecules — to better understand the biochemical processes you'll study throughout your degree.

🪡 Surgical Suturing Skills
Gain hands-on experience in basic surgical techniques. Under expert guidance, you'll practice suturing methods, improving your manual dexterity and introducing you to the precision required in clinical settings.

Benefits of Attending the Pre-Course

• Academic Head Start: Begin your studies already familiar with key concepts, making the first semester less overwhelming.

• Stronger Fundamentals: Reinforce science knowledge that underpins all areas of medicine.

• Practical Confidence: Early exposure to clinical skills, like suturing, helps you adapt quickly to hands-on classes.

• Smooth Transition to University Life: Get to know your future classmates, campus environment, and teaching style before the academic year starts.

• Better Time Management: Learn how to balance theory and practical learning effectively from the outset.

• Motivation & Mindset: Start your studies with momentum, enthusiasm, and a clear sense of purpose.

Timetable

 
On Tuesday,  the  23rd  of September at 15:30 , there will be an additional lecture from Dr. Jaroslaw Nuszkiewicz, an Assistant Professor at the University. The lecture will last 90 minutes and is titled " From molecules to practice: introduction to medical biochemistry and laboratory skills "
