Volunteering for Ukrainians and Studying Medicine in Poland with Oleksandr Sydoruk

AMBOSS: Beyond the Textbook

As we continue examining the differences between medical education systems globally, we wanted to gain a current student’s perspective on the changing field as well as focus on the huge impact that the war in neighboring Ukraine has had on folks living in Poland. Our guest, Olek, studies medicine at Uniwersytet Jagiellonski and dedicates his free time to raise funds and deliver much-needed supplies to those who fled Ukraine.
