Choosing where to pursue a medical education is one of the most important decisions a future healthcare professional will make. The Medical University of Lublin offers a learning environment that combines academic tradition, modern training, and global opportunity.
Internationally Recognized Degrees
Graduates earn medical degrees that are recognized internationally, creating pathways to licensure examinations and postgraduate training opportunities in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, nations across Asia, South America, Africa, and throughout the European Union, in accordance with each country’s regulatory requirements.
Recognition in Major U.S. Licensing States
The University is recognized by the Medical Board of California and the New York State Education Department for the purposes of medical licensure eligibility. California and New York are home to many of the largest residency training systems in the United States, making this recognition especially meaningful for eligible students planning to pursue postgraduate medical training in North America.
Eligible Graduates who meet all examination and regulatory requirements may pursue residency training and eventual medical practice across the United States and Canada, subject to national and provincial/state licensing rules.
Access to U.S. Federal Student Aid
The Medical University of Lublin is approved by the U.S. Department of Education to participate in the Federal Student Loan Program for eligible students. This provides qualified U.S. students with access to federal financial aid options to help support their medical education abroad, if eligible.
Private Loan Eligibility
Students may also be eligible to apply for private educational loans through lenders such as Sallie Mae, depending on individual credit and program requirements.
Veterans Educational Benefits
Eligible students may use veterans’ educational benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, in accordance with VA regulations governing international institutions.
Canadian Student Loan Participation
The University is also approved for participation in Canadian government-sponsored student loan frameworks through relevant provincial and federal programs, allowing qualified Canadian students to apply for educational funding, subject to provincial guidelines.
Strong Clinical Preparation
Clinical experience is woven throughout the curriculum. Students train in University hospitals or affiliated teaching hospitals in the USA and specialized medical centers, gaining exposure to a broad range of medical disciplines. Early patient contact and structured clinical rotations help students build confidence, competence, and professional judgment.
USMLE Step 1 Preparation Support
During the third year of the program, students are provided with structured USMLE preparation resources designed to support their readiness for the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1. These resources are integrated alongside the core medical curriculum and focus on strengthening foundational sciences, clinical correlations, and exam strategy. Students benefit from guided review sessions, faculty-led instruction, targeted study plans, and access to high-quality practice materials. Structured assessments and practice examinations help students identify areas for improvement while building confidence and test-taking skills. This comprehensive support system ensures that students are academically prepared and well-positioned before embarking on the Step 1 examination.
U.S.-Based Clinical Rotation Opportunities
Eligible students have the opportunity to complete their entire clinical rotation program — including core rotations and elective rotations — in the United States. This structure allows students to gain valuable hands-on experience within the U.S. healthcare system while still enrolled at the Medical University of Lublin.
Training in American clinical settings helps students develop familiarity with U.S. hospital systems, documentation standards, interprofessional teamwork, and patient care expectations. It also strengthens preparation for residency applications by providing meaningful clinical exposure and professional references within the United States.
All clinical placements are arranged in accordance with program guidelines and site availability, and participation is based on eligibility and successful completion of required academic and regulatory steps.
