Abstract

The subject of this article concerns discrimination occurring at Polish medical universities. The article is based on a questionnaire conducted by the authors in the first months of 2023 among students of medical universities from all over the country. One of the most frequently cited reasons of discrimination was gender and it should be emphasized that this type of discrimination affected both, women and men. The authors tried to determine whether students are familiar with the possibilities to report cases of discrimination to the competent authorities and what the reasons are behind refraining to do so. The study was also aimed to determine the reaction of universities for cases of discriminatory behavior reported by students and whether, in their opinion, these actions are sufficient. The answers to abovementioned questions provided by the surveyed students prove that discrimination at medical universities is a common and multidimensional problem.
