The Competition Jury consisted of outstanding specialists from various fields of medicine. Participants were evaluated in three categories: scientific achievements (including grants, scholarships, publications, awards), involvement in activities for the general public (e.g. charity, trade union and association activities) and prospects for further development (influencing the healthcare sector in the coming years).
"Supertalents in Medicine" has been organized by Pulse of Medicine magazine since 2012. The main goal of the competition is to recognize leaders coming from a young generation of doctors (up to the age of 39), whose knowledge and skills have potential to influence changes in Poland's healthcare sector in the nearest future.
