Guide to recognising non-EU medical diplomas in Poland
A free information portal that explains nostrification step by step, lists the 28 Polish universities that nostrify medical diplomas on a map, ranks them and tracks the CEM exams.
About the project
From a foreign diploma to work in Poland
Nostryfikuj.pl is a free portal for health professionals trained outside the European Union who want their diploma recognised in Poland: doctors, dentists, nurses, midwives, veterinarians, pharmacists, physiotherapists and other professions.
The site explains the procedure step by step, lists every university that carries out nostrification together with fees and contact details, and shows them on an interactive map of 18 cities. A ranking compares universities on published facts only: scientific category, fee, information for candidates and the range of professions.
It also covers the exams run by the Medical Examinations Centre (CEM): LEW, LDEW, FEW, LEK and LDEK, with dates and rule changes delivered by newsletter. Exam preparation itself happens on MedMigrant.
