“In an age of widespread accessibility to knowledge, less emphasis should be placed on the processes of remembering more and more information and more on how to understand, interpret and use it in practice. In addition, proper training of interpersonal skills, e.g. related to how to appropriately and empathetically motivate the patient to adhere to the prescribed treatment, will become increasingly important in the new setting. Moreover, due to the fact that the work of medical professionals is becoming more and more complex, there is also talk about the need for partial education in interprofessional teams..."- says dr Piotr Dziechciarz, Rector's Plenipotentiary for Quality of Education in an interview with dr Anna Staniszewska. We recommend reading this exceptionally interesting interview. In the issue, there is also an article on the advantages and disadvantages of surveys in which students evaluate the quality of education at their university, as well as many news items from the life of the Medical University of Warsaw.
