Multidisciplinary Medics

Our vision began with us aspiring to optimize the medical experience for students wanting to become well-rounded, versatile doctors. Inspired by what we learn in the classroom, we wanted to be able to utilize this knowledge in a practical setting. We feel as if this sentiment is shared by most students here at the Medical University of Lublin. As per the ongoing pandemic, we also feel that the student community has become disconnected.  We would like to use our organization as a way for students from ALL divisions that share our vision of medicine,  to collaborate and recreate a sense of community.
Multidisciplinary Medics
Multidisciplinary Medic’s was officially established at the beginning of the 2022 Spring semester. Our first action as an organization was to aid in the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Using our networks as international students, we successfully raised a substantial amount of funds to help aid in humanitarian effort.  A portion of the funds have been allocated in the provision of educational/developmental equipment and supplies to the “Zdolbunivsky Inclusive Resource Center”.  A center that provides aid to children with special educational needs that has recently received a great influx of children from affected areas around Ukraine. Due to the ongoing crisis we are constantly looking for ways to contribute in supporting our neighbouring country and affected individuals. 

In the last few months we have successfully organized two practical workshops. The first being a Medical Suturing workshop, where students had the opportunity to learn about different types of suturing techniques and  how to perform these techniques on realistic mediums. The second event, was a Fracture Casting workshop where students had the opportunity to learn about different types of fractures and casting techniques. Students also had the opportunity to apply casts on each other as well use an oscillating power tool to remove the cast.
Multidisciplinary Medics
Overall, it has been a successful start allowed students to expand and strengthen their medical skills and foundation. As this semester comes to an end, in the next academic year we are looking forward to organizing more workshops, providing volunteering opportunities and enhancing the unity between all students at UMlub.
