Learn how to practice Medicine & Dentistry in Poland after obtaining your medical degree
Acquiring a Medical/Dental license
In order to practice as a Doctor/Dentist in Poland, postgraduates holding a Medical/Dental degree have to complete the following:
1. Medical Final Examination (LEK) or Medical-Dental Final Examination (LDEK)
-
Can be done in English or Polish
-
To apply for this, you have to fill in an application form which is available on the CEM website
2. Staż Podyplomowy - Postgraduate internship
-
It's an obligatory hospital internship in Poland, that lasts for 13 months (for Doctors) or 12 months (for Dentists)
-
To enrol, the graduate has to speak Polish
-
Graduates completing Medical/Dental degrees in English have to pass an official 'Polish Language Exam', held by Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists (PCPD)

A fee is involved when getting a certification from the PCPD

Please note: Once a student graduates and acquires their medical degree from their Polish Medical University, the University is no longer responsible for the student receiving a medical license to practice medicine, instead the 'Polish Chamber of Physicians and Dentists' become responsible.
