Scholarship Description: The Polish School of Medicine was established in Edinburgh in 1941 in the wake of German occupation of Poland and trained over 300 men and women in a comprehensive undergraduate medical education programme. Clinical teaching took place at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and other hospitals including the Paderewski Memorial Hospital, which was opened in 1941 at the Western General Hospital.

The PSM 70th Anniversary Doctoral Project, starting in September 2011, will be based in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology with funding from the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, the College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine and the Polish School of Medicine Historical Collection Fund.
