“The Medical University of Warsaw has given me the opportunity to develop my research interests and personal skills beyond anything I could have ever dreamed,” says Justyna.
As president of the English Division Student Government (EDSG), she encourages her peers to take advantage of the amazing resources available to students at the Medical University of Warsaw. She is also president of the Pharmacogenomics Student Research Club at the Department of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacy of the First Faculty of Medicine, and founded the Obstetrics, Women's Diseases and Gynecologic Oncology Student Research Club at the Second Faculty of Medicine. Justyna is also an active member of the International Federation of Medical Students Associations (IFMSA) in Poland.
Justyna’s commitment to the English Division students and successes as an international medical student at MUW have certainly contributed to the promotion of the program. We are delighted that Justyna has become an “ambassador” of the Medical University of Warsaw because her personality and achievements boasts our University.
We also extend our congratulations to the other INTERSTUDENT 2018 winners. You are invaluable partners in the internationalization process of Polish universities. Your leadership amongst international students in Poland is fundamental in building bridges between the different cultures on campus and with our Polish culture. Thank you for helping us reach this goal.
