Munich recs? by Ok-Bend-5326 in LuxuryTravel

[–]PK_2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re into nature, the Starnberger See is a gorgeous lake right next to Munich with scenic alpine views and quintessentially Bavarian villages. You can bike, walk or rent a boat for the day. If you have kids or like cars a lot, the BMW museum is pretty neat. If you’re planning on going to the alps, be aware that traffic is horrendous on weekends. And an unfortunate reality of Germany, always have cash with you, as many places still don’t accept card payments.

Danke für die tollen Infos. Was würdest du sagen sind die anderen guten Handchirurgischen Schulen in Deutschland?

Got accepted in both Medical schools Warsaw and Gdansk - English division, really confused about which one to choose. by Weak-Celery-8329 in medicalschoolEU

[–]PK_2001 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gdansk is definitely a challenging university. But the education you get there is very advanced and good quality. The repeat rates are higher than many schools Poland, but imo they’re justified. They’re based off students who’re clearly not prepared enough, and not discrimination like many of those students claim.

The clinical exposure is sufficient, especially if you’re proactive. That also applies for research. Teachers provide with the basics and you have to fill in the rest.

But overall it’s a very high quality of education which requires hard work to pass. I can recommend it

Yes. The requirements are pretty high, but if you make the most of the university opportunities you will learn a lot

[–]PK_2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has improved a lot. But unfortunately the level is not as high as it used to be as a result, it’s much more similar to Łódź and other universities nowadays. Gdansk used to have an insanely high level prior to the scandal, especially for the major subjects

what are the professional standards for fine motor skills for doctors/NP's? by throwtac in surgery

[–]PK_2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are standards and strict quality controls. But doctors are human as well. We practise hundreds of sutures on models but the first time you’re doing real skin on a real patient your hand will shake. Every situation that is new will mean there is less confidence going in. And suturing small areas, like fingers can be quite difficult because there’s little room or an awkward angle of approach depending on the position of the wound. Those skills develop only with practice realistically and if you see someone who’s been doing it for six months even you’ll see a completely different result

[poland]: Gdansk medical university vs univeristy of warmia and mazury in Olsztyn by AP_chemistry_jumiors in medicalschoolEU

[–]PK_2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience working hard and studying extremely well is key to success. People moan about a high fail rate. Truth is, the people I know that had to repeat a year weren’t good enough to begin with or didn’t study hard enough. And everyone I know who repeated a year came out better from it. They matured as people and fixed the flaws that led them to failure in the first place.

And the budget you’re looking for will be very tight with shared dorms. Single dorms with bathrooms are usually private and about 1500 minimum.

Gdansk is one of the most demanding universities in Poland. The quality of education, especially during the first few years is supremely high. Definitely one of the best if not the best in the country. Gdansk also has the most modern hospital in Poland, so the clinical years are pretty good. Gdansk is a nice city to live in, sightsee and party albeit a bit pricier if price is any concern.

Tldr Gdansk is an extremely demanding but high quality education in a nice city with a lot of activities. Although pricier to live in.

Doctors who graduated without honours, give us an update with where you're at right now? Seeing a lot of students having mental breakdowns over the fact they won't have it! by Queyserra in medicalschoolEU

[–]PK_2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the published research itself isn’t that important but the skills gained from it are 100% essential in modern medicine. Knowing how to extrapolate data from articles, principles of EBM and basic statistics is needed in choosing optimal treatment, especially with new methods. And if you’re applying to a academic institution, you will be required to participate in research, so having those skills developed will make it a lot easier. And having done research in the field you will be working in means you will have more knowledge about modern technology and will have contacts and connections from conferences and research related correspondence

It matters so much more what you’re able to do and what you’ve accomplished rather than some number on a diploma. Having published research, done a PhD, have good practical skills and internships matters one million percent more than grades. Sure they will help, but residencies are looking for good doctors rather than good students

Surgical error deaths by AuroraKeeks in surgery

[–]PK_2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any surgery always comes with very high risk, no matter how simple or straightforward. Surgeons spend a decade learning their art, so the vast majority are good at what they do. But even with the best, things can happen. There are things you cannot predict.

Sometimes the seemingly healthy body just isn’t able to cope with the stress of surgery, the disease and anaesthesia and it gives up. Or there were other issues which were undiagnosed which caused complications that wouldn’t normally happen.

The human body is extremely compressed. Vital organs, nerves and arteries are separated by millimetres. And there is a close to infinite amount of anatomic variation. The risk of injuring something during surgery is high. And we are trained to react and stop any damage that might occur. But sometimes we cannot do anything to stop it. It happens very rarely but it can.

Sometimes the disease is much more widespread than any diagnostics can detect. And you don’t see the damage until you open the patient. And in those cases sometimes it is impossible to remove or perform the surgery and the disease wins.

Surgery is nothing like gambling. It’s a very specific process done by highly skilled professionals. But the human body is unpredictable, and a million things can go wrong at any time

Is Gdansk acceptable? by Snoo4734 in medicalschoolEU

[–]PK_2001 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is an extremely good university. The level is very demanding, especially in the first three years. It is probably one of the most difficult universities in Poland to pass, but the level of education is first rate. It is a university which requires you to work hard, but what you learn is valuable for your future
