Studying as an International Student and Practicing in Poland with Dr. Ian Perera
Poland has one of the lowest doctor-to-population ratios in Europe. And populations across Europe continue shifting toward a majority of elderly patients being cared for by too few doctors and nurses. This combination of a physician shortage and an increasingly older population mean that being a doctor in the 5th most populous EU nation is no picnic. Today we’re talking with Dr. Ian Perera, a physician working and trained in Poland, who actually moved here from abroad. // Interviewee: Dr. Ian Perera // Archives of Medical Science: Migrations of nurses and doctors from Poland: data for the years 2014-2020 based on the sample of capital city of Warsaw / https://doi.org/10.5114/aoms.2017.69394 The Lancet: Disease burden in older Ukrainian refugees of war: a synthetic reanalysis of public records data / https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanhl/article/PIIS2666-7568(22)00187-8/fulltext#%20 Polityka Zdrowotna: Podwyżki wynagrodzeń w zdrowiu.

The field of medicine is complex and becoming a competent physician requires mastering the details of human anatomy and physiology while developing more general skills such as task prioritization, managing a team, and breaking bad news.

Preparing for Residency, Investing in Healthcare, and Fixing the Medical Field with Stanford Assistant Professor Sharif Vakili
Medicine is a complex field. There are traditional ways of learning it with lectures and textbooks and then there are more novel methods such as using online medical education platforms and test prep materials.
