E-library
The medical professionals are in constant need of easy access to the latest information for better care of the patients and the research work. Earlier the access to Medical Information by the Doctor and researcher was difficult because of it being available in the print form only. Now, during the digital revolution, information technology has become too important for the library services to be ignored. Digital library provides rapid and convenient access to the health care information.
Our e-library offers our students the best e-library by ELSEVIER and OSMOSIS. Only a small number of world medical universities offer these kinds of advanced training and teaching tools and methods.
E-LIBRARY
AMA-ZSMU Medical Campus provides а digital library for all medical students, faculties, researchers, and medical trainers; it is also known as an e-library. This is a collection of documents in an organized digital form, available on the internet. The purpose of an e-library is to store, access, and manage magazine articles, books, audio files, images, and video files.
E-library gives the periodic need for additional support in academics as well as practical-experience-based guidance on day-to-day clinics and cases. The user of a digital library need not go to the library physically; students from anywhere can gain access to the same information, as long as an Internet connection is available. A major advantage of digital libraries is that people can gain access 24/7 to information.

Hands-on approach, contact with patients and intensive clinical immersion
At AMA-ZSMU medical campus, our medical facilities and medical trainers provide the most effective learning experience on the basis of a real hands-on experience. For this reason, at AMA-ZSMU medical campus we implement cadaver labs, clinical rotations with patients, practice with standardized patients and medical simulation from the earliest possible stages of the training.
Top level medical simulation
AMA-ZSMU medical campus has a special area dedicated to medical simulation and standardized patients, as well as broad expertise in the field. Ultimately simulation and the use of medical simulations work to close the gap between the direct practice on a clinical patient and the theory involved in perfecting the skills necessary to best address the need of the patient. AMA-ZSMU is aiming to be one of the leaders in medical simulation education in the region. AMA-ZSMU medical campus’s State-of-the-art equipment and qualified staff make this part of the training fun, challenging and very useful for all participating students.
Student self-practice rooms with professional equipment
* At AMA-ZSMU Medical campus, students have multiple clinical skills practice rooms, designed and equipped to simulate a real-life family medicine doctor's office, available for student self-practice and preparation for OSCE-type exams (Objective Structured Clinical Examination.”. OSCEs are very helpful in medical education because they allow a student to practice and demonstrate clinical skills in a standardized medical scenario.)
* The AMA-ZSMU Medical campus has a well-equipped ultrasound laboratory available for workshops and student self-practice. Voluntary initiative with cooperation with local and international healthcare partners.
Voluntary clinical and research opportunities
At AMA-ZSMU Medical Campus students looking for additional professional experience have the opportunity to assist clinical staff in their daily hospital duties, including medical procedures and surgeries, in cooperation with various regional partner hospitals. Active students can also volunteer to take part in the ZSMU’s extensive research activity in Poland and in other European countries. Getting involved in research projects and publishing papers is now easier with the assistance of other networks of partner medical universities world-wide. Further, numerous medical outreach initiatives through AMA-ZSMU Medical Campus global network of partners are open to ZSMU’s student volunteers.
Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) and mock licensing exams
OSPE, and mock licensing exams are offered by ZSMU at the AMA-ZSMU Medical Campus (OSPE assesses practical skills, knowledge and/or interpretation of data in non-clinical settings).
The objective structured clinical examinations are widely used in health sciences to practically assess skills and competencies in a realistic clinical setting. The OSCEs are very helpful in medical education because they allow a student to practice and demonstrate clinical skills in a standardized medical scenario. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate competency in communication, history taking, physical examination, clinical reasoning, medical knowledge, and integration of these skills. It is meant to be a fair and accurate way to assess competence, as well as identify areas that need more work and practice.
