Hi, my name is Klaudia Proniewska. I am a researcher who develops modern and digital methods of teaching medical skills to students.
Advanced 3D visualization teaching method
3D visualization has improved the possibilities of facilitating understanding of complex phenomena.
Problem-based learning (PBL)
PBL is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material.
Creative Thinking
Creative thinking is the ability to approach a problem or challenge from a new perspective, alternative angle, or with an atypical mindset.

✦ Projects
Mixed Reality supporting Advanced Medical Education
A new method of teaching medical skills. The primary goal is to allow organizations to develop and reinforce networks, increase their capacity to operate at a transnational level.
Center for Digital Medicine and Robotics
Provide access for academics, students at medical faculties, and doctors, participants in postgraduate studies of knowledge in advanced information technologies used in diagnostics and clinical treatment
Holographic MedAssistan
3D operating room with unlimited perspective change and remote support from anywhere. Making the operating room more digital with Microsoft Hololens 2 and Microsoft Azure Kinect.
✦ Publications
The dynamic COVID-19 pandemic has destabilized education and forced academic centers to explore non-traditional teaching modalities.
Immersive technologies like Mixed Reality (MR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are becoming increasingly popular and gain user trust across various fields, particularly in medicine.
Tooth anatomy is fundamental knowledge used in everyday dental practice to reconstruct the occlusal surface during cavity filling
✦ New teaching methods
Advanced 3D visualization teaching method
I aim to provide an overview of the various digital three-dimensional visualizations used for learning anatomy and to assess whether these improve medical students’ understanding of anatomy compared to traditional learning methods. Furthermore, I evaluate the attitudes of the users of three-dimensional visualizations. I compared advanced newer three-dimensional anatomy visualization methods (i.e., virtual reality, augmented reality, and computer-based three-dimensional visualizations) to traditional methods that have been used for a long time (i.e., cadaver and textbooks) with regard to users’ understanding of anatomy. Three-dimensional visualization is a significantly more effective learning method compared to traditional methods.
Problem-based learning (PBL)
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material. The PBL process does not focus on problem solving with a defined solution, but it allows for the development of other desirable skills and attributes. This includes knowledge acquisition, enhanced group collaboration and communication.
Creative Thinking
Creative thinking is the ability to approach a problem or challenge from a new perspective, alternative angle, or with an atypical mindset. This might mean thinking outside of the box, taking techniques from one discipline and applying them to another, or simply creating space for new ideas and alternative solutions to present themselves through dialogue, experimentation, or reflection.
