We are proud to inform that a team of scientists from PUMS Department of Clinical Pharmacy and Biopharmacy led by Dr. Paulina Skupin-Mrugalska has secured a research grant from Phospholipid Research Center Heidelberg for the project "Phospholipids as excipients in Amorphous Solid Dispersions – an attempt to establish hot-melt-extrusion for oral formulations of poorly soluble drugs".
In their recent communication (https://www.ecfmg.org/news/2020/05/13/ecfmg-medical-school-accreditation-requirement-moved-to-2024/) the US Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) has established that their new accreditation policy regarding foreign medical schools will come into force in the year 2024. This will mark the switch from accreditation of individual schools to recognition of whole national accreditation agencies. In Poland, the responsible body is the Polish Accreditation Commission (PKA) - according to our recent communication with this agency, it has already initiated preparatory actions leading to submission of the official application for accreditation.
Until the year 2024 or possible earlier accreditation of PKA by the WFME, PUMS is meeting ECFMG eligibility requirements on individual level, as confirmed by our listing in the World Directory of Medical Schools (https://www.wdoms.org/).
