THE PROCEDURE
Students who wish to have their summer work placement done in Bydgoszcz via University are obliged to inform the administrator responsible for their year at the Office of the Centre for Medical Education in English on that by e-mail before 30th April 2025.
Students who plan to have their summer work placement done outside Bydgoszcz/Poland are obliged to fill in the Request Form and submit it for approval at the Office of the Centre for Medical Education in English before 30th April 2025.
1st year students receive the work placement logs (booklets) before summer at the Office of the Centre for Medical Education.
After completing summer work placement, each student is obliged to submit the work placement log with practice program for a relevant year filled out legibly and diligently to the Office of the Centre for Medical Education in English.
The deadline for submitting the work placement log is 20th September 2025.
The work placement can be credited only on the basis of the documents filled in completely.
Since summer work placement is a part of the plan of study, it is necessary to receive a 'credit' which will be given to you after delivering a filled out practice program. Lack of credit means failing the year.
If you complete your work placement in a place which does not fall within the relevant category (see below), you will not get a credit for the placement.
During the course of study, the student completes the following holiday work placements:
1. 1st year of study: 4-week work placement in nursing in clinics or hospital wards.
2. 2nd year of study: 3-week work placement in outpatient health care (family medicine) and 1-week work placement in emergency medical aid at a hospital emergency department.
3. 3rd year of study: 4-week work placement in an internal medicine clinic or hospital ward.
4. 4th year of study: 2-week work placement in a surgery clinic or hospital ward and 2-week work placement in a paediatric clinic or hospital ward.
5. 5th year of study: 2-week work placement in a gynaecology and obstetrics clinic or hospital ward and 2-week work placement in in anaesthesiology and intensive care clinic or hospital ward.
