misinformation, Medical University of Gdańsk, medical educationAbstrakt
The text refers to the subject of misinformation in medicine based on facultative classes conducted at the Medical University of Gdańsk. The aim of these classes was to familiarise participants with various non-scientific theories in the field of human health, to indicate scientific guidelines in the field of medicine, and to reflect on misinformation in today's society. This topic is important and has practical implications for the education of future healthcare professionals. The author raises the question of whether information about various non-scientific theories in the field of human health should be a mandatory part of the curriculum of various medical fields of study. This would break a certain boundary in academic teaching, but it would be justified by practical considerations.
