Journal Title: Progress in Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 2

Abstract

Nursing education began at the Medical University of Białystok in 1956, when the Medical Academy in Białystok began its Public School of Nursing. It was organized by the Health Division and Social Care of the Provincial Council in Białystok in agreement with the Academy’s authorities. The aim of the school was the education of a specialist staff of nurses and instructors for the new developing departments of the Medical School. The school conducted its activities until 1959. In 1999, it began a nursing education program at the Medical Academy in Białystok and the Department of Nursing was created at the Medical Faculty. At present, these educational programs are serving the licensing studies of nurses and midwives and the studies for the master’s degree in nursing.
