Opening the conference held on the occasion of the Day of the Midwife, Dr. hab. Grażyna Bączek, Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Education and academic supervisor of the Midwifery Student Research Club emphasized the student-centered nature of the event. Both the organizers and many of the speakers (though not only them) were students from the Midwifery Student Research Club and the Ethics Student Research Club.

Sabina Sobolewska, Krzysztof Jasiński and Piotr Jakuciński – they were the members of the "golden" team that defeated teams from seven other universities across Poland in the competition. But they were not the only ones who did a great job! The Student Society of Laboratory Diagnosticians of the Medical University of Warsaw also did a fantastic job by organizing this year's 10th National Diagnostic Simulations at our university.

Two projects won this edition: a student project that will increase the number of student lockers at the Central Teaching Hospital on Banacha Street, and a staff project that will create a green well-being zone on the Banacha Campus.

The congress is the result of strong collaboration between the Department of Otorhinolaryngology at the Bogomolets National Medical University in Kyiv and the Chair and Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery at UCK WUM. This year’s scientific program was also supported by the team from the Chair and Department of Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases and Allergy at UCK WUM. The event was held under the patronage of the rectors of both universities: Prof. Yurii Kuchyn and Prof. Rafał Krenke.

“Exam under the microscope: how to assess what truly matters” was the theme of this year’s Education Quality Day at WUM. The symposium focused primarily on topics related to the OSCE, which will soon be introduced at our university.

On 20-24 April, rectors and vice-rectors, institutional coordinators and students from the universities forming the European University for Well-Being (EUniWell) alliance met at the University of Constance. The theme of the congress was cooperation and integration, which are expected to play a key role in promoting well-being in higher education. The congress was of particular significance for our university – we officially confirmed our cooperation within the alliance.

It was three intensive days filled with presentations, workshops, panels, and lectures. The main protagonists of the event were young researchers from various parts of the world who found the courage to present their scientific work in a public forum. This was made possible by the Student Scientific Society of WUM, which invited participants to the 21st edition of the Warsaw International Medical Congress.

Prof. Bożena Werner was named the winner of the Personality of the Year 2025 poll of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship in the Science category. The official gala ceremony, during which diplomas were awarded, took place on April 22 in Warsaw.

The Medical University of Warsaw took part in the Central Asia–European Union Universities Congress 2026 and the 3rd Poland–Uzbekistan Rectors’ Forum, held on April 13–14, 2026, in Samarkand. This high-level event was attended by ministers in charge of science and higher education, university rectors, and representatives of the academic community from Central Asia and Europe. The Polish Minister of Science and Higher Education, Marcin Kulasek, was also present.

Another stage of the anniversary celebrations has concluded. Prof. Rafał Krenke, Rector of WUM, together with Prof. Piotr Luliński, Dean of the Faculty of Pharmacy, unveiled a plaque dedicated to the founders and staff of the Faculty of Pharmacy. It is located in the lobby of the faculty building.
