TABMED Toruń and Bydgoszcz Medical Summer Program

The Ludwik Rydygier Collegium Medicum of the Nicolaus Copernicus University (Bydgoszcz, Poland), is pleased to welcome applications for the 1st edition of the TABMED program. TABMED is an opportunity for students interested in medical and pharmaceutical sciences to lead a 4-week-long summer research project in one of the following areas:

• medicine
• pharmacy
• laboratory medicine
• cosmetology
• nursing
• midwifery
• physiotherapy
• medical rescue
• dietetics
• public health
• ocular optics
• optometry

For each participant we will offer the student housing in Bydgoszcz and a daily allowance of 50 PLN (~12 euro), which are more than sufficient to cover the living costs during the stay in Poland.

Program

The main component of the summer program is an active participation in the selected medical and pharmaceutical research project offered by the staff members of the Collegium Medicum, please see the topics and their descriptions below. Interested students are welcome to contact possible advisors for more details concerning the foreseen projects and discuss the dates that the project could be undertaken.

This year's TSSP novelty is that the NCU student can join each project! The decision to join a student of our university is made individually by the trainee's tutor.

See the list of topics and advisors.

Apart from the projects, once a week we will organise an invited lecture and a lunch or dinner for the entire group. We will also offer short trips / sightseeing in the Bydgoszcz area on selected weekends. All students will be asked to give 15-minute presentations about the results of their projects at the end of their stay in Bydgoszcz.
