The “Rising Stars of Polish Medicine” plebiscite brought together fifth- and sixth-year medical students from across Poland who have distinguished themselves through their achievements and commitment to scientific, social, and academic activities. The jury selected ten winners. As many as half of them, including the winner, are students from our university.

Among the top ten awardees in this year’s edition of the competition, the high-ranked positions were taken by Dr. hab. Mateusz Zawadka and Dr. Rafał Zadykowicz. Through their knowledge, dedication, and passion, they are transforming Polish medicine for the better.

The University Center for Clinical Research Support (UCWBK) has been established at WUM. “It serves as an interface between clinical practice and science, as well as between basic medical tests and patients who will be able to make use of modern therapies,” said Prof. Łukasz Kołtowski, Director of the new unit, during the official opening ceremony.

"We are proud to call ourselves graduates of the Faculty of Pharmacy today. I hope we will make good use of the knowledge we have gained and the values we have been taught in our future careers," said their representative, Julianna Mazurkiewicz, during the graduation ceremony.

For two days, the Medical University of Warsaw hosted a meeting of the rectors of 16 medical universities. During the meeting, the university authorities and representatives of bodies such as the Senate Health Committee, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Medical Research Agency, the Polish Accreditation Committee and the National Health Fund discussed the most important challenges facing medical universities. Topics included guidelines for the OSCE exam and the costs of its organization, a draft law on the professions of nurse and midwife, a new algorithm for allocating subsidies, and the education of students in non-university-affiliated hospitals.

The anniversary gala was the highlight of the celebrations marking the 100th anniversary of the Faculty of Pharmacy WUM, which will continue throughout 2026. The ceremony provided an opportunity for reflection, review, recognition and looking ahead.

Among the 101 universities included in the ranking, our university placed 17th and was ranked as the third-highest-rated medical university in Poland. The ranking was prepared by the Work&Science Foundation, an organization that supports young researchers and connects the world of science with the research and development sector.

The results of the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) 2026 have been already announced. With a score of 71.1 points, the Medical University of Warsaw (WUM) ranked 908th globally, an improvement of eight places compared with last year. Among Polish higher education institutions, WUM achieved an impressive 9th place, including 2nd place among medical universities. This strong position in the ranking proves that at our university we educate at the highest level.

It was yet another exceptional event marking the 50-year alumni’s graduation anniversary. Organized by the Faculty of Medicine [Wydział Lekarski, WL] and the Faculty of Dentistry [Wydział Lekarsko-Stomatologiczny, WLS], the event honors individuals who have been taking care of the health and life of patients for decades. This time, 86 graduates of 1976 received their symbolic diplomas certifying their long-standing service for Polish medicine and dentistry.

We celebrated the 10th anniversary of the WUM Sports and Rehabilitation Center (CSR WUM). The event was combined with the annual celebration of Children's Day. Numerous attractions were prepared for the guests, including: family swimming competitions, a water obstacle course, an anniversary cake and yoga classes.
