Abstract

The Medical University of Warsaw is one of Poland's largest medical universities, currently enrolling nearly 10,000 students, including 608 international undergraduates. This manuscript aims to share our experience with a literature review on organizing and coordinating clinical classes for English Division undergraduate medical students at a single centre in a country where English is not an official language. We would like to highlight certain aspects that have proven highly beneficial in our educational efforts and offer universal advice applicable to clinical classes in any specialty. In this publication, we summarize and emphasize the critical aspects of creating conducive conditions for acquiring knowledge and practical skills by English Division students. We provide readers with good practices for tutor selection, organizational aspects, preparation of educational materials, presenting theoretical knowledge, teaching practical skills, medical simulations, doctor-patient communication, learning progress evaluation, comparison of diverse healthcare environments, students' feedback, and creating opportunities for further development after course completion.
