Cardiosurgical Students' Scientific Group JU MC

Welcome to our website!

 

or the last 30 years the Cardiosurgical Students' Scientific Group (CSSG) of the Jagiellonian University's Medical College has encouraged medical students to participate in the process of solving heart's biggest mysteries - mysteries that are so unique that they can only be discovered in the brilliant light of the operating theatre.

e are offering you not only the possibility to improve your theoretical knowledge with enthralling lectures and discussions including films, photos, props and medical cases, but also to acquire practical skills such suturing and anatomical dissection of heart's structures and vessels. Scientific projects await the most ambitious with a helping hand of our marvellous Tutor, Roman Pfitzner Ph. D. Those striving for more cardiosurgical adventures can also participate in additional events prepared by our host, The Transplantology, Heart & Vessel Surgery Clinic of the John Paul IInd's Hospital in Krakow, such as cardiosurgical workshops and various conferences.
