Focus on MUW
For the first time, the WUM University Clinical Center has conducted a procedure of broadening the Fontan tunnel in an adult patient using vascular access.
On October 22, the lobby of the Faculty of Pharmacy was transformed into a recruitment and networking center. It was all thanks to the second edition of the Just Pharm career fair, which gave medical analytics and pharmacy students an opportunity to explore the job market, while allowing employers to reach talented candidates even before they graduate. And there’s no shortage of such candidates at our faculty!
The Medical Simulation Center (CSM) is constantly developing and modernizing. It has just acquired the latest generation of ultrasound scanners, medical trainers, and the ultrasound simulator of a pregnant woman. The equipment was financed by the National Reconstruction Program (KPO).
As life expectancy increases and more people are affected by neurodegenerative diseases, so does the importance of optimal diagnostics. The pathophysiology of neurodegenerative diseases has not been explored in depth yet, but one of the causes is thought to be inflammation. Piotr Alster, PhD hab. from the WUM Department of Neurology at the Faculty of Health Sciences conducts research, which will allow for comparing the levels of inflammation parameters in the course of Parkinson’s disease and progressive supranuclear palsy, as well as identifying differences between those subtypes.
The event was organized by the 2nd Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care UCK WUM. First, there was a five-day intensive training course on emergency ultrasound, followed by Europe's first international training course on transcranial ultrasound in intensive care. Both courses attracted participants and lecturers from many countries.
The Patronage Program for high school students has been launched. First up – a lecture on cardiology
The next edition of the WUM patronage program for young people from two Warsaw high schools has begun. We started with a strong accent – a lecture by Prof. Renata Główczyńska entitled “Invasive Cardiology Therapy.”
Joanna Romaniuk received a grant and presented her MyMidwife project during the final gala of the Laboratory of Ideas program.
The Museum of the History of Medicine organized a meeting with Dr. Andrzej Gąsecki, the author of a book and a film about Professor Jerzy Choróbski.
The conference is a well-known and highly regarded event, during which current issues in clinical research are discussed. Participants attended discussion panels, workshops, and lectures. This year, WUM’s Academic Clinical Research Support Center joined the main organizer, the Leon Koźmiński Academy in Warsaw.
