  • How do you apply to Medical School in Poland? Don't worry in this video I walk you step by step through the application process for 3 universities: Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Medical University of Warsaw, and Medical University of Gdansk. PLUS things I wish I knew before I started my application!
    I also summarize the process in case these are not one of the schools you are wishing to apply to.
    If it is your dream to study medicine in Europe or study medicine in Poland, this video will help you navigate the not-so-user-friendly medical school websites. We will also talk about which documents are required for medical school in Poland.
    Here are the links used in the video to find the Polish Medical School application websites:
    KRAKOW: https: //medschool.uj.edu.pl/prospective-students/md-program-in-english/
    WARSAW: 2wl.wum.edu.pl/en/node/add/pa...
    MUG: admission.mug.edu.pl/1452.html
    Hi! I'm Katie, I am a second year medical student at an international medical school in Krakow, Poland. I started this channel to share tips for getting into and succeeding at an international medical school, as well as, my journey to residency back in the USA. You might even see a few videos showing off my city and traveling around the world! As always, I am available for further questions in the COMMENTs section below, or you can find me on instagram @katieskoczen.
    Thanks for watching! If you liked todays video, and would like to see more, please subscribe to my channel and give this video a thumbs up! Having your support makes balancing med school, life and this channel worth it, so THANK YOU!!

      6th year gulag student here
      I can not stress this enough
      MEDSCHOOL IN POLAND IS AN ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE
      She has no idea whats coming
      There is still so much pain ahead of her
      The universities in Poland are absolutely unorganized and disinterested in their foreign students
      If you do not speak polish you are basically a third tier student in their eyes, there is almost no support and you will be teaching yourself for the most part
      Medical school is hard enough but with the arbitrary obstacles that arise in poland it is just NOT WORTH YOU'R TIME
      If you do not speak polish you will have a much worse learning experience here due to the massive language barrier ( I do speak polish so it hasn't affected me personally however I can see my colleagues struggling a great bit)
      Additionally if you plan to work in the EU or US it is NOT the way to go at all
      USMLE is tough as hell and the polish curriculum is not aimed to prepare you for it the slightest
      Regarding EU: Many countries require you to be licensed in order to work
      Acquiring your license is a lot harder if you do not speak polish
      On top of all of this the unis vary wildly
      Her experience ( as short as it is) only reflects her institution with her being a polish speaker
      This is NOT reflective of other institutions in poland
      Also
      If you are LGBTQ+ or a POC poland is maybe not the place to go to.... You will be met with racism and sexism and general bigotry not only in public but also at uni
      There are other pathways to go when it comes to fulfilling your dream of becoming a doctor
      Look into Riga or the Prague

      For first year you’re going to want to stay somewhere close to the anatomy building on kopernika street and the central building (CDK) on Łazarza street. That’s where you’ll spend 80% of the class time! Some classes you’ll have closer to the university hospital In prokocim, but only a few first year! Personally I’d try to be within 15 minutes walking to those places - especially for a 8am class 😂
