The current issues concerning healthcare institutions are generated by: aging of the population; the increase in prevalence of non-communicable diseases, even in low/medium income countries; the continuous increase of indirect costs generated by chronic diseases; the necessity of new- patient-specific oriented therapies; the need of translation of fundamental research into practice; need of applicability of prevention strategies; an important segment of the working population becomes inactive; migration of healthcare professionals. An essential condition for the sustainable development of any community is the health and the maintenance of the health of its population, and it is essential that the institutions involved in the process adapt to the constant change of the society: the medical academia not only develops health professionals, but conducts research, helps implementing healthcare programmes, develops future strategies, and influences the political systems; the hospitals need to adapt to growing populations; the communities should be involved in out-patient healthcare and prevention of diseases; governmental institutions adapt to the concept of sustainable development in various ways: funding fundamental research, applying nation-wide programmes for prevention and care, help of disadvantaged population, funding medical universities.

Cel badań. Celem pracy była ocena aktywności fizycznej studentów uczelni medycznych i wybranych jej uwarunkowań na tle populacji studentów z innych szkół wyższych. Materiał i metody. Badaniami objęto 3148 studentów I roku studiów z 11 różnych uczelni Katowic, Chorzowa i Krakowa, z czego studentów szkół medycznych było 711. Zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego z wykorzystaniem kwestionariusza ankiety autorstwa Umiastowskiej. Przyjęto poziom istotności p = 0,05. Wyniki. Największa grupa studentów (40%) ćwiczyła tylko raz w tygodniu. Niespełna 30% studentów ćwiczyło więcej niż trzy razy w tygodniu. Młodzież szkół medycznych nie różniła się pod tym względem od pozostałych badanych. W grupie medycznej tylko 4% przyznało, że trenuje w klubach sportowych, a aż 28%, że ćwiczy jedynie na obowiązkowych zajęciach wychowania fizycznego. W obu przypadkach studenci szkół medycznych wypadali niekorzystnie w porównaniu z pozostałymi, a różnice były statystycznie istotne (odpowiednio p = 0,001, p = 0,002). Najpopularniejszymi formami aktywności fizycznej wśród studentów były jazda na rowerze i ćwiczenia w domu. Dla studentów szkół niemedycznych dominującą motywacją do podejmowania aktywności fizycznej okazała się przyjemność (62%), natomiast studenci szkół medycznych w jednakowym stopniu wskazali przyjemność, zdrowie i sylwetkę (57%). Wnioski. Studenci szkół medycznych, mimo że znacznie częściej niż inni dostrzegają znaczenie sprawności fizycznej w swoim przyszłym zawodzie, rzadziej deklarowali, że trenują w klubach sportowych i częściej ograniczali swoją aktywność do obowiązkowych zajęć wychowania fizycznego.

Background. Determination of physical activity of medical school students and their selected determinants and their comparison with population of other faculties students. Material and methods. The studies involved 3148 first year students of 11 different Universities including 711 medical students. The research used the method of a diagnostic survey using a questionnaire by Umiastowska. The level of significance is p = 0,05. Results. It was found that the largest group of students only exercises once a week (40%). Only 30 % of students exercise more than three times a week. In this regard, the students of medical studies do not differ from the students of other faculties. However in the group of medical students only 4% of students exercise in sports centres, and up to 28% of students practice on mandatory physical education classes. In both cases, students of medical schools perform unfavourable compared to the others, and the differences are statistically significant (p = 0.001, p = 0.002) respectively. The most popular physical activities among the students are cycling and exercising at home. For non-medical school students, the dominant motivation to undertake physical activity is pleasure (62%), while students of medical schools equally indicated pleasure, health and figure (57%). Conclusions. Medical schools students although much more often than others notice the importance of physical fitness in their future profession less often train in sports clubs and more often limit their activity only to physical education.

Remote teaching became one of the key topics in educational research due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our article looks at the other side of the story, i.e., in-person education during the pandemic. This aspect of teaching excellence has been overlooked because it seemed to be thoroughly studied. However, COVID-19 has profoundly changed in-person teaching. In our study, we focus on the Polish medical and technical universities as the studies they offer include solid practical components (labs or clinical classes). Our article examines how in-person classes were administered and organised during three consecutive semesters, starting in the Spring of 2020, when teaching at Polish HEIs was mostly conducted remotely. We build our analysis on internal legal acts issued by rectors and interviews with university staff who oversaw the teaching process. The legal documents describe the procedures related to in-person teaching or frontline teaching in person. The interviews complement this image by providing the rationale behind the regulations, their reception by the students and the faculty, or the backstage of in-person teaching. The LogFrame was applied to provide a conceptual framework to understand how universities could continue providing their services.

The growing number of foreign applicants looking forward to getting education in Ukrainian medical universities makes us find the ways how to improve and make effective the pre-professional training system of foreign medical applicants for further education. The article deals with the issues of the history of formation and development of the preprofessional training system of foreign medical applicants in Ukraine. On the ground of the electronic databases of the official websites of higher educational establishments, the data on years of opening first offices of the dean, departments and preparatory faculties for foreign medical applicants in Ukrainian medical universities are analyzed and systematized. Also the data on the setting up preparatory faculties at other universities who carry out licensed training of foreign students of the medical profile are presented. The data on the operating and management of such institutions in the system of the University administration are generalized. It’s revealed that during the years of its functioning the pre-professional training has changed, in particular the system was commercialized and the institutions involved in training foreign applicants have been reorganized. The modern trends in teaching foreign medical students at the preparatory faculties of the Ukrainian medical universities are displayed. Based on the analysis of the data it is concluded that the system of the pre-professional training of foreign medical applicants was set up in the 50s-60s years of the twentieth century. During this time, some positive experience in the preparation of future international medical specialists has been gained. The system of the pre-professional training of foreign medical applicants has been comprehensively improved and an effective system of managing foreign medical applicants has been created.

The subject of this article concerns discrimination occurring at Polish medical universities. The article is based on a questionnaire conducted by the authors in the first months of 2023 among students of medical universities from all over the country. One of the most frequently cited reasons of discrimination was gender and it should be emphasized that this type of discrimination affected both, women and men. The authors tried to determine whether students are familiar with the possibilities to report cases of discrimination to the competent authorities and what the reasons are behind refraining to do so. The study was also aimed to determine the reaction of universities for cases of discriminatory behavior reported by students and whether, in their opinion, these actions are sufficient. The answers to abovementioned questions provided by the surveyed students prove that discrimination at medical universities is a common and multidimensional problem.

Tematyka niniejszego artykułu dotyczy dyskryminacji na polskich uczelniach medycznych. Podstawą do jego przygotowania było badanie przeprowadzone przez autorki w pierwszych miesiącach 2023 r. wśród studentek oraz studentów uniwersytetów medycznych z całej Polski. Jednym z najczęstszych powodów dyskryminacji, wymienianym zarówno przez mężczyzn, jak i kobiety, była płeć. Autorki starały się ustalić, czy studenci znają możliwości zgłaszania przypadków dyskryminacji do właściwych organów oraz jakie są przyczyny, dla których decydują się tego nie robić. Badanie miało również na celu ustalenie, z jaką reakcją ze strony uczelni spotykają się studenci, którzy reagują na zachowania dyskryminacyjne, i czy ich zdaniem są to działania wystarczające. Odpowiedzi udzielone przez respondentów dowodzą, że dyskryminacja na uniwersytetach medycznych stanowi problem powszechny oraz wielowymiarowy.
