Clinical Program

Dear Student,
Congratulations on finishing your basic medical sciences. We have prepared the following informational kit which will assist you in understanding the different rules and requirements for clinical clerkships in the United States and Poland**.

HMI’s MD Program prepares students to meet the requirements of major countries such as the US, Canada, and especially countries throughout Europe. The program is designed by a team of academic experts from the United States and Europe. It gives the students in-depth knowledge of basic medical sciences and provides competitive clinical training with hands-on experience. Our university-affiliated hospitals are equipped with state-of-the-art technology accompanied by a vast patient base. This gives our students ample opportunity to acquire skills in treating almost any disease known to man.

The last two years of medical school are your clinical years regardless of which program you are enrolled in (the 4 year or the 6 year program). During these years most of the teaching and learning occurs at the bedside; in outpatient areas, operating rooms, emergency rooms; and on ward rounds.

Usually, students are assembled in small-group settings where there is an opportunity for close interaction amongst the medical students, house staff, and faculty. The students must come fully prepared and should be able to apply knowledge gained from the basic medical sciences to solve clinical problems.

The two years of clinical training are a combination of 82 weeks of rotations in different specialties. As per our University curriculum you are required to complete a total of 82 weeks of clinical rotations/clerkships (48 weeks of core rotations in six major specialties, 34 weeks of sub-internships and electives). Upon successful completion of your basic medical sciences from Poland and passing the USMLE STEP 1 examination, you may be eligible for clinical rotations in the United States.

The clinical rotations are as follows:
