We would like to invite MUG alumni to share their knowledge and experience with the current MUG students through patient case reports, test questions and quizzes on various topics in the area of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing and other biomedical sciences. These activities
and make the students learning experience both
have personal experience of both studying at the Medical University of Gdańsk and of the postgraduate training and professional service, which – if shared – may be useful and inspiring for the current students. The graduates may play a very important role as mentors for the students, not only by transferring knowledge and experience, but also by reinforcing students’ motivation and focus on their educational goals and plans for the future.
Mentoring provided by the alumni can include live meetings, online sessions, and support materials. In this section you will find information about any form of mentoring provided to current students of the MUG by our International Alumni.
The MUG’s International Graduates, who would like to participate in mentoring events (meetings live or online) are kindly requested to inform us by filling in the form available here.
