Adrianna Frydrysiak-Brzozowska, MSc. is the Dean of the Collegium Medicum at the Akademia Mazowiecka W Płocku (Masovian University in Płock) in Poland. She is a leader in the fields of nursing and health science education. The College aims to educate specialists with high competencies, preparing them to work in a spirit of responsibility and independence. They have developed innovative teaching models where they test whether traditional tools (lectures, seminars) could be supplemented with simulated practice (skill workshops, medical simulation) to move to real-world practice (hospital ward, outpatient clinic, nursing home, nursing and care institution, hospice, beauty salon, wellness rooms). The goal is to optimize professional development and maturation; we all recognize that our providers should be patient-oriented, empathic, able to assess the situation, and ready to make independent decisions. She has recently published about infant feeding, music therapy in infants and the care of babies with Down Syndrome.
