History
and present day
Founded in 1946, Wroclaw Medical University (WMU) proudly continues the legacy of the medical faculties of Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv. After World War II, academic staff from Lviv and other Polish universities laid the foundations of modern medical education in Wroclaw, creating an institution that would grow to become one of Poland’s leading medical universities. Over nearly eight decades, WMU has combined academic tradition with a forward-looking approach to science, education, and healthcare.
