On 31 March, the Medical University of Lodz welcomed a delegation of 14 career advisors from Ireland. On a daily basis, they support young people in making educational choices, also beyond the borders of their home country. During the visit, we presented our university as a modern and open environment for studying medicine. After being welcomed by Professor Lucyna Woźniak and Professor Sebastian Kłosek, the delegation was invited to the CKD campus, where they had the opportunity to see the university’s educational and clinical facilities. The meeting was also an opportunity to showcase Łódź as a student‑friendly city. The programme concluded with a visit to the Łódź City Hall and a meeting with the First Deputy Mayor, Adam Pustelnik, followed by a city walk organized with the support of the Łódź Tourism Organisation. This visit is another step in strengthening the international presence of our university.

At MUL, a project is underway that will change the way future doctors and healthcare professionals are educated. Thanks to the implementation of a data teletransmission system, students will be able to participate in classes based on real clinical cases—without the need to be physically present at the patient’s bedside. From operating rooms and clinics to lecture halls, image and sound will be transmitted. This is a major change that enables teaching in a case-based learning model—dynamic, engaging, and rooted in clinical realities. The project is part of a larger investment. Thanks to nearly PLN 190 million received from the Ministry of Health, we will be able to implement 11 projects that will transform the university’s teaching and clinical infrastructure. We will strengthen our position among the most advanced medical education centers, and our students will benefit from some of the most cutting-edge learning conditions in Poland and Europe.
