As well as graduates and their tutors, the event was also attended by: Professor Mirosław Wielgoś, Rector of the Medical University of Warsaw; Professor Mieczysław Szostek, President of the Association of Students of Warsaw Medicine and Pharmacy; Dr. Krzysztof Makuch – member of the District Chamber of Medicine in Warsaw, and Dr. Adam Tyszkiewicz, who became director of the Museum of the History of Medicine of the Medical University of Warsaw (WUM) from 1 October 2018

All the guests were greeted by Dr. Irena Brydowska-Skórzewska – representative of the year, who has held this position since she began her studies in 1948 at the then-Faculty of Medicine of the University of Warsaw.

Dr. Irena Brydowska-Skórzewska presented Dr. Adam Tyszkiewicz with a copy of Kronika (Chronicle) which she was donating to the Museum of the History of Medicine of the Medical University of Warsaw (WUM). The chronicle contains archival materials, photographs and documents relating to activities during the 1948-1953 academic year, as well as of consecutive meetings of the graduates which have been held to the present day. The Museum of the History of Medicine also prepared a multimedia presentation for guests which consisted of photographs of the students and their contemporaries from the 1953 year group.
