Our university offers a 6 months practical training (staż) for our graduates.

Internship is placed in hospitals of Medical University of Silesia. 

To provide the best quality of training the trainees are divided into 2-person groups.

After the training, you receive a certificate of completion which should be send to the Ministry of Health within 3 months. A positive decision of the Minister is equivalent to the fulfillment of the postgraduate internship required in the procedure for obtaining the doctor’s license in Poland.
