Nostrification: bibliography and guidelines
Nostrification is run by medical universities, and each one sets its own exams and reading. Many test the main clinical subjects, much like the LEK. That is why we use the CEM list for the LEK as our reference point, and always check the specific university’s regulations.

Who sets the exam scope
Polish medical universities
Nostrification is carried out by the university you choose: it compares your curriculum and may set exams or placements. The Ministry of Health publishes the list of universities.
