Dear PhD Students,

Another very important and attractive meeting is ahead of you, which simultaneously constitutes a milestone in the implementation of the National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) STER program. Under the STER program in 2021-2023, we implement the PUMSTER project to internationalize our Doctoral School. The Interprofessional Communication Course (IPE) is part of the PUMSTER Program financed by NAWA, which has been long awaited by many of you and perfectly fits into the “unmet needs” of our Doctoral School. As part of the Course, which will be held on October 17-29 this year, we plan to strengthen not only the communication skills of PhD students cooperating in various medical disciplines but also to develop the communication skills between scientists, specialists in specific fields, and non-scientists. A particular topic is related to multidirectional activities in the fight against COVID.

The IPE Course includes 30 hours of classes, designed by Dr. Magdalena Cerbin-Koczorowska, who is well known to you from the Autumn School and classes at our University. Dr. Magdalena Cerbin-Koczorowska invited outstanding foreign and domestic speakers to conduct the course under the title “Interprofessional collaboration – Let’s meet patients’ needs – together”. The IPE Course is unique in many aspects because, so far, it has not been possible to gather so many outstanding specialists and specialists under a common banner and fit such a complex and topical subject within 30 hours in such a comprehensive manner. There are lectures, seminars, and workshops by Dr. David Hope from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and Dr. Jan Folkert Deinum from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. You will surely take part in the classes of Dr. Naeem Hasan Mubarak from the University of Health Sciences in Lahore, Pakistan, and Flavia Colus, MSc, PPMI, Lithuania. The meetings scheduled for the second week will open the classes conducted by Prof. Gill Aitken from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. The group of speakers is still expanding – we believe that guests from the Jagiellonian University and the University of Augsburg in Germany will also confirm their speeches. The IPE Course will end with practical classes dedicated to creating virtual clinical cases and will be conducted by Patryk Gawor, MSc, and Magdalena Cerbin-Koczorowska from our University.

Dear PhD Students, take advantage of this unique opportunity and the rich program of the Course.

Prof. Ewa Wender-Ożegowska, DSc, PhD, MD
