A delegation representing the Jewish Medical Students’ Union visited the Dean of the Medical School of Warsaw University, requesting that provision be made this year for Jewish medical students to carry on practical work in the hospitals.
Last year Jewish medical students were excluded from practical work. This was in contrast to a past policy, when a small number of Jewish students were assigned places in the hospitals.
Last year the Minister of Education personally supervised the assignment of medical students to various hospitals and completely excluded the Jews.
Hospital work is considered of great importance to the students from a practical medical standpoint and from an economic viewpoint, since there is a small remuneration for the services rendered.
