The objective of the Programme is to strengthen the didactic potential of the HEIs providing education in medical professions on the basis of educational standards referred to in the Regulation of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of 26 July 2019 on educational standards preparing to practise the profession of physician, dentist, pharmacist, nurse, midwife, laboratory diagnostician, physiotherapist and paramedic (consolidated text Dz.U. [Polish Journal of Laws] of 2021, item 755).

The aforementioned objective will be achieved by inviting to these HEIs representatives of medical professions, i.e. physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, midwives, laboratory diagnosticians, physiotherapists and paramedics from abroad (both Poles permanently working abroad and foreigners), hereinafter: “Medics” who are licensed to practise the above professions and who have the necessary competencies to educate students in entities providing medical education (hereinafter: “Employing Institution”). Thus, the activity will help increase international cooperation in the broader field of medical science and share the latest knowledge and best practices used in the above-mentioned professions.

The programme has been commissioned to the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange by Minister of Education and Science under Article 2(5) of the NAWA Act.
