Introduction:
The Polish School of Medicine Memorial Fund supports a thriving scholarship programme that enables successful applicants to undertake a period of further study or research at The University of Edinburgh Medical School and related institutions.
The Course: The February 2022 Edinburgh Level 2 Cardiac CT course will be delivered in 2 formats: an on-line format and as a face-to-face taught course in Edinburgh. These CT courses are delivered by experts in the field. Feedback from previous participants is very positive. Places on the course will be limited and are normally in high demand. For further information on the courses go to: https://www.ct-academy.org/
The Scholarships: A maximum of 4 scholarships (2 for the on-line course and 2 for the face-to-face course) will be available. The scholarship covers the cost of the course fee at the trainee rate for on-line participants. Accommodation will be provided from the afternoon of 30th May –morning of 5th June 2023 in university accommodation at the Pollock Halls of Residence campus on a single room, bed and breakfast basis for those attending the Edinburgh based version of the course,. Applicants wishing to make their own arrangements for accommodation do so at their own expense.

The expectation and intention of the founders of both The Polish School of Medicine Memorial Fund and the Boloz-Kulesza Trust Fund Scholarship Programmes are that successful applicants will return to their units/ departments in Poland on completion of their attachment/studies. The founders and Trustees of these Funds expect scholars to use their new- found skills to further enhance and develop Polish medicine including medical research, and thus foster academic links between Polish Medical Universities and Research Institutes and The University of Edinburgh.
