Wrocław Medical University

Wrocław Medical University is a medical school located in the Polish city of Wrocław with several faculties and specialized departments. The campus combines older buildings with modern laboratories and research facilities that support teaching and study.

The school was established in 1945 following World War II, rebuilding from the city's earlier medical education tradition that started with the Collegium Medico-Chirurgicum in 1745. This founding restored the continuity of medical training in the city.

The institution carries the city's name, reflecting Wrocław's long tradition of medical learning and practice. Visitors can see how these buildings represent a continuity of healthcare education that remains central to the city's identity.

Keep in mind this is an active university campus where classes and research are ongoing. Access to certain areas may be limited or restricted depending on the time of visit.

A professor at the school performed Poland's first open-heart surgery here in 1958 and achieved another surgical milestone with the country's first living donor kidney transplant in 1966. These two breakthroughs established the institution as a pioneer in Polish surgery.
