Studying as an International Student and Practicing in Poland with Dr. Ian Perera

AMBOSS: Beyond the Textbook

Poland has one of the lowest doctor-to-population ratios in Europe. And populations across Europe continue shifting toward a majority of elderly patients being cared for by too few doctors and nurses. This combination of a physician shortage and an increasingly older population mean that being a doctor in the 5th most populous EU nation is no picnic. Today we’re talking with Dr. Ian Perera, a physician working and trained in Poland, who actually moved here from abroad.
