The Practical Training for students of Wrocław Medical University is organised by the University in accordance with the Regulation No. 28/XV R/2020 of the Rector of the Medical University in Wrocław of January 29, 2020, as amended, in the summer, July - September.  Please note that it is not possible to complete your Practical Training in the academic year when your classes normally take place.

Prior to the beginning of your training, please download from our website the relevant programme for your year and the questionnaires - unit assessments and internship assessments. Ensure that the programmes (attached below) are printed on both sides (1 sheet) and the questionnaires (attached below along with the programmes) on one side.

There are 2 ways to complete your Practical Training:

Once the training programme has been accepted, make sure the following are clearly provided on the form: full address of the practice, the date, the stamp and full name of the Director/Manager/Owner of the hospital/clinic.

If the hospital/clinic does not have a stamp in Polish/English, please ensure that the stamp gets translated into Polish/English by a sworn translator.
