On March 20, 2026, another edition of one of Poland’s largest conferences dedicated to liver diseases, “Hepatology 2026 – Advances in Diagnostics and Treatment,” was held in Warsaw. The event brought together nearly 400 participants – physicians from across Poland involved in the management of liver diseases, including specialists in gastroenterology, infectious diseases, transplantation, and pediatrics, as well as internists and family medicine physicians.

This time, high school students attended a lecture by Dr. hab. Grzegorz Rosiak from the 2nd Department of Clinical Radiology at the Central Clinical Hospital of the University Clinical Center of the Medical University of Warsaw (CSK UCK WUM), titled “Interventional Radiology.”

Invited experts unanimously emphasized that dental care in Poland should integrate the knowledge and competencies of many specialists – not only dentists, but also speech therapists, dietitians, pharmacologists, among others – to address the complex needs of elderly patients better. This is not a matter of the distant future, but a current challenge driven by the rapid aging of our society.

From laboratory diagnostics, through the analysis of test results, to the final clinical diagnosis – such a broad view of hematology was proposed during the 1st Student and Doctoral Conference "Hematological perspective". The participants of the event could take part in lectures by specialists – laboratory diagnosticians and clinical practitioners, as well as listen to the speeches of students and doctoral students. They could also participate in workshops conducted by scientific student clubs of our university.

Almost 200 students of medicine, emergency medicine, nursing, as well as physicians from all over Poland took part in the second edition of the PediCardia conference which was devoted to heart diseases in children. The central theme of the event was the concept of stress in the broadest sense – in emergency situations, diagnostics and therapy, perioperative and transplantation procedures.

was the 8th edition of this student-organized event. Its significance grows every year. A total of 700 participants registered this time. The topics of discussions included modern methods of diagnosis and therapy in cardiology.

The 22nd edition of the “Warsaw Nephrological Meetings” scientific and training conference has come to a close. The event was organized by the Chair and Department of Nephrology, Dialysis and Internal Medicine at MUW. The theme of this year's symposium was “How do we treat patients in the 21st century?” This question was addressed by outstanding experts from Poland and abroad.

The lecture was organized by the American Medical Student Association (AMSA) at WUM. The expert spoke about what multimodal treatment of the musculoskeletal system involves and concluded by sharing his experience regarding the residency application process in the United States.

An international team of experts, including Prof. Hanna Szajewska, head of the Department of Pediatrics at UCK WUM, has published a consensus in Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology defining the concept of “gut health.”

A team from the 1st Chair and Department of Cardiology performed one of the first implantations in Poland of a modern cardioverter-defibrillator with cardiac resynchronization therapy. The device enables physiological stimulation of the heart’s conduction system, a network of muscle cells responsible for generating and conducting electrical impulses and coordinating cardiac contractions. The procedure was performed on a 70-year-old man with severe heart failure of ischemic origin, who had also developed a conduction disorder (left bundle branch block) as a result of the disease.
