5th November 2008 is the last day of the first settlement period for doctors and dentists who gained their doctor's licences (the right to exercise a profession) before 5th November 2004. For all the other doctors the first settlement period is over 48 months after the date of gaining a doctor's licence. Fulfilling the obligation of professional enhancement in the first settlement period may be documented with certificates issued not later than on 5th November 2008. We remind - 200 points have to be collected.
Before you start to collect the training documentation you are supposed to read the regulation of the health minister of 6th October 2004 on the ways of fulfilling the obligation of professional enhancement of doctors and dentists, which can be found at the Regional Medical Chamber in Warsaw website (www.warszawa.oil.org.pl). The regulation includes a list of accepted forms of professional enhancement, the number of points and limits assigned to each of the forms and the required documentation.
The documents confirming professional enhancement issued prior to the effective date of the said regulation remain valid, and educational points obtained before the date shall be classified in the first settlement period.
As the regulation does not specify the starting date of the first settlement period, the gap has been filled by the Supreme Medical Council with a resolution of 19th September 2008, which settles 27th September 1997 as the starting date, which is also the date of making the Act on Doctor's Profession effective. Thus the first settlement period lasts 11 years and 2 months.
All the documents obtained in the said period (as well as the student's registration book have to be submitted in a folder with a doctor's name, surname, telephone number and licence number (please organise the documents in chronological order).
In case of certificates and diplomas from courses, congresses, conventions, conferences and symposia the documents are supposed to be originals.

1. completing a specialisation programme - the length of a specialisation programme shall be confirmed with a certificate signed by the specialisation director, a copy of a specialization card or a certificate issued by Mazowieckie Centrum Zdrowia Publicznego (98 Czereśniowa Street, tel.
