The Faculty of Medicine is an open, modern, and constantly growing academic community where responsible, competent, and critically thinking health care and social welfare professionals are trained. In a changing world, it is important for us not only to pass on knowledge but also to develop the ability to analyse, collaborate, make responsible decisions, and act professionally and ethically.
Studies at the Faculty are based on the unity of theory, practice and science. We aim for students not only to acquire professional knowledge and practical skills, but also to understand the importance of science in practical activities, to be able to rely on evidence, critically evaluate information and apply it in professional activities.
It is important for us to educate a specialist who is not only a practitioner, but also a thinking, interested, and constantly improving professional in their field.
The Faculty of Medicine pays special attention to applied scientific activities, evidence-based practice, innovation, academic dialogue and collaboration.
We believe that progress is born when studies, science and practice become a seamless process that encourages the search for solutions, the creation of new ideas and the responsible response to the needs of society and the health system.
