Koło Naukowe GOMPHOSIS was established on October 26, 2016. The Circle brings together students interested in deepening their knowledge and conducting scientific work in the field of medical sciences, including nursing. The Circle accomplishes its tasks through active creative work, the results of which are presented at scientific conferences and published in post-conference publications. The Circle encourages students to collaborate with the local community, especially with preschools and schools. There, they organize periodic training workshops and promote prevention in the areas of hygiene and basic first aid.
