Innovative model of education for social security physicians
The Social Security Institution (ZUS) employs certifying physicians (1st instance) and physicians who are members of medical committees (2nd instance) who issue certificates stating incapacity for work in order to determine the right to social security benefits and who control the correctness of issued medical certifications of work incapacity. These physicians specialize in different fields of medicine as Poland has no specialization in medical certification and all postgraduate courses have no single curriculum.
