“This academic year we have guaranteed 10,815 places in medicine and medicine and dentistry. It is as much as 3265 places more than in the 2015/2016 academic year and 500 more than in the previous year ", wrote Adam Niedzielski in his entry.
However, before universities educate new doctors, actions are needed to solve the staffing problems we are struggling with now. The way out of these problems is to be doctors from abroad.
"More than 3,000 doctors from outside the EU received permission to practice in Poland. Most of them are medics from war-torn Ukraine. The dominant specializations of doctors who submit an application to the Ministry of Health are: family medicine, pediatrics, internal diseases, general surgery ", indicated the Minister of Health.
