The most objective measure of the quality of any medical university is an average score of MD graduates, who took a Medical License Test (MLT) in a particular year, and the number of licenses issued.
The Medical University of Gdansk ranks #1 in the average score from MLT, and #2 in the number of licenses issued.
We would like to point out that any rankings that come from newspapers are absolutely not to be trusted, due to their lack of objectivity.
Polish medical university rankings based on MLT scores and licences issued follow:
