- We need to think about the quality of medical education. This quality consists of staff, infrastructure and community education.
- KRAUM's recommendations can serve as a guide for universities undertaking medical education.
- A very important element of the new standards for medical and medical-dental education will be a standardized practical exam for all graduates. We are waiting for the Minister of Education and Science to approve these standards.
- We view with concern situations in which students learn anatomy on virtual tables, and have to commute several hundred kilometers to the dissecting room as part of away sessions. These concerns were shared by the Polish Accreditation Commission.
- It is difficult to suspect the Polish Accreditation Commission, which is not dominated by doctors, of issuing a negative opinion guided by corporate interests.
- A medical professional must have the ability to filter out valuable knowledge from what is pseudo knowledge, manipulation.
