Six people are standing in a row against a blue backdrop with the inscription “Medical Simulation Center, Medical University of Lublin” and repeating logos. All of them have ID badges on blue lanyards around their necks. One person is holding a diploma and a gift bag, while another is holding a plush toy attached to a bag. The remaining people are standing next to each other, posing for a group photo.
The WUM was represented by two teams. One of them won silver. We triumphed not only as a team, but also individually. Two of our students took joint first place, while another, female student took second place.

"Signa Vitalia", the National Competition of Knowledge and Skills in the Field of Emergency Medicine, was addressed to medical students who formed teams of three. The competition consisted of two rounds. The first, written round was individual and all students took part in it. It involved completing a test with 50 questions. The second round was practical, i.e., three clinical cases had to be solved. Only three teams were qualified for this round – those whose participants scored the highest total number of points during the first stage.
