Do consider where your clinicals will be held though. Though living and learning in Poland will be a unique experience for non-Polish, if your goal is to return to the U.S., Polish-language clinicals may be a bit difficult. Imagine how difficult it would be communicating with an English-speaking patient. Now imagine interviewing that patient in Polish. Just my two cents.

anyone that is currently doing clinicals in Poland, could you please clarify on the degree of difficulty it is to interact with patients. Does the language become too much of a barrier, or have you learn enough polish to get to through. Do they provide translators, etc...

Polish schools are very attractive, this is the only downside I see to them, could anyone talk about their experiences with the clinicals.

yeah.. I agree with tpw2k..
this may be funny, but are we able to get interpretor in ward?
( I checked out BBC learning section and it seems to be much more difficult than French or German for me )

I dont think you can get an interpreter. Unless one volunteers or you pay one. I doubt that the program would be that accomadating.

That's what your polish-speaking classmates are for.
