The delegation, chaired by Under-secretary of State at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, prof. Lukasz Szumowski has provided members of the American commission with a series of information on the course of medical studies, the rules of examinations, the management of universities, as well as professional career of medical graduates. The meeting was the conclusion of a lengthy evaluation process, the result of which is an extension of the accreditation. One of the members of the Polish delegation was prof. Janusz Moryś, head of the MUG’s Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology.
