How to take care of global health<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Awarder with the WUM Rector\u2019s Scholarship for academic excellence, Michail Koutentakis strives to build a future where healthcare will be based on cooperation and available to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michail Koutentakis from Greece is in his last year of studies at the Faculty of Medicine of the Medical University of Warsaw. In those six years he distinguished himself in learning, leadership, and research, contributing to development of over twenty organisations and having significant impact on the global health and on medical education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the leader in the Student Government (English Division), Michail acted as the secretary, vice-president, and social media coordinator, and his achievements included improving communication with the WUM management. As a passionate researcher, he won competitive grants and published several articles in peer-reviewed periodicals. He is the author of five chapters in leading books on medicine and surgery. His works cover cardiology, surgery and translational medicine, mirroring the young researcher\u2019s devotion to broadening knowledge and patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michail\u2019s engagement with multiculturality brought about his active involvement in organisations such as Project IMG, IMG Unity, IFMSA, AMSA, and InciSioN Global. As the Director of Education at InciSioN he initiated the \u201cGlobal Surgical Education Leadership\u201d (GSEL), facilitating contacts between the world experts in order to eliminate differences in surgeons\u2019 education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApart from academic achievements, Michail has been an invaluable guardian of the WUM research community during the last three years. He conducted important research under the guidance of prof. Marek Postu\u0142a at the WUM Centre of Pre-Clinical Research. He played a key role in securing two main research grants and financing options, including PRELUDIUM and FIT-OBI. Michail also published several important scientific articles,\u201d says MD. Hab. Jacek Sie\u0144ko, vice-dean of student affairs, English Division of the WUM Faculty of Medicine. Michail\u2019s passion for global health and education reaches far beyond our university\u2019s walls. He spearheaded the \u201cGlobal Surgical Education Leadership\u201d (GSEL) series, targeting the differences in surgical education in countries with low incomes and limited resources, and he also established a programme connecting mentors from USA with international medical students. These initiatives demonstrate his devotion to eliminating the global gaps in access to healthcare and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPoland became my second home, the country that combines rich history, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality,\u201d Michail says. \u201cLife in Warsaw was an inspiring experience, and accessible prices and dynamic student life provide unlimited opportunities for development. As for the Medical University of Warsaw, it was a cornerstone both for my individual and academic development. It is a place that poses challenges, supports, and provides tools to transform dreams into reality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
