Poznan University of Medical Sciences (PUMS), one of Poland’s
leading institutions to train aspiring doctors, is expanding its
partnership with global educational services provider Kaplan to
provide students with an even more powerful and diverse suite of
services. Effective immediately, medical and dental students will
have access to Kaplan resources from the first day of their
academic journey through graduation. And beginning this spring, all
third year PUMS medical students will enroll in a hybrid
on-campus/live online class for the USMLE®, the multi-step
licensing exam to practice medicine in the United States, to be led
by Kaplan instructors. This will be in addition to the digital prep
assets for the USMLE that PUMS students already have access to at
the start of their third year. With the upcoming changes to Polish
medical education curriculum, PUMS administrators, faculty, and
students stand to benefit from resources such as Kaplan’s Educator
Portal and, Quiz Builder, as well as Kaplan’s commitment to
developing a Curriculum Alignment strategy for the country and
PUMS.
Kaplan will also begin to provide aspiring physicians at PUMS
with access to i-Human Patients by Kaplan, a leader in cloud-based,
interactive patient encounter simulations for medical and nursing
professionals. This addition allows students to experience safe,
repeatable, fully-graded clinical patient encounters on their
devices anywhere, anytime.
Additionally, as part of the expanded partnership, students will
be able to prepare more comprehensively for the INBDE®, the newer
exam for dental licensure in the United States, with Kaplan’s suite
of digital resources, such as the INBDE Board Prep & Case
Review and QBank, which includes more than 2,600 highly realistic,
image-based questions. Detailed performance reports will show
students their individual strengths and weaknesses.
“One of our main goals as a university has always been educating
highly competent, skilled, and employable medical professionals,
who meet the highest professional requirements in Poland and
abroad. Over the years, the robust resources provided to us by
Kaplan have proven to be very efficient in helping us achieve this
goal. We have experienced a significant improvement in our USMLE
Step 1 pass rates and have seen stronger results on other national
licensure examinations since introducing Kaplan’s tools and courses
to our international student cohort over 10 years ago,” said the
director of the Center for Medical Education in English at PUMS,
Professor Aleksandra Uruska. “We are looking forward to building on
this success and developing our cooperation further for the benefit
of our students and graduates.”
“Kaplan has a long history of working with PUMS to support
Poznan students preparing for their medical and dental licensure
exams and we couldn’t be more excited about expanding our resource
offerings with them,” said Jason De La Rosa, international director
of institutional partnerships, Kaplan. “PUMS has a proud record of
achievement, boasting of one of the highest USMLE pass rates in
Poland and we look forward to building on that success story by
further integrating with their curriculum.”
