Dear Doctoral Candidates,
I am writing this reminder that as the Polish National Association of Doctoral Candidates, we offer the opportunity to register for sports cards under an agreement with Medicover Sport! We encourage all new doctoral candidates to register, because a healthy body means a healthy mind.
For everyone already familiar with this initiative -> from October 2025, the access code has been updated. The new access code to our registration page is: krajowaRDMS2025
1. What locations does the Medicover Sport offer cover?
This question is very easy to answer - check this link and see what is included in specific packages throughout Poland! https://medicoversport.pl/wyszukiwarka
2. What steps should I take to register and use the service?
- Go to: https://medicoversport.pl/pakiety/krd
- Enter the password: krajowaRDMS2025
- Click "Register" at the top right (yellow button).
- Important! Registration usually lasts until the 15th day of each preceding month - if you don't manage to register, the next registration will be from the 1st day of the next month (November) until November 15, and then the membership begins in the following month (in this case: December).
- Choose the package that interests you and fill in all the fields requesting data (IMPORTANT - the email used for registration must be a university email - in your university domain, e.g., @uwr.edu.pl - otherwise it will not be possible to purchase the package and participate in the subscription).
- If you plan to add an accompanying person (or a child), select the package that interests them and fill in the section regarding their data.
- At the very bottom, there is a "Pay" button that will redirect you to the payment page - you attach your card there and thus start a monthly subscription (and thereby authorize Medicover to collect a specified amount each month). Quoting the website: "The minimum subscription period is 1 month. Cancellations and package changes can only be made in the 1st month of the subscription with effect for the next month. If there is no cancellation, the package is automatically extended for another 1 month. These changes can be made between the 1st and 15th day of the month."
- After this step and after paying for the first month (along with a handling fee of one złoty for attaching the card), everything is ready. Further instructions on how to use the packages are included on the website (where you are logged in) and in the attached files! The possibility of using the purchased card starts on November 1, 2025!
3. General information
I am very pleased that our sports card initiative is so popular! For the past two months, we have maintained a steady level of 800 registered people. Our agreement with Medicover Sport is for an indefinite period, and thanks to your interest, we are showing that young Polish scientific staff cares about not only mental health (supported by our PhDWell project), but also physical health!
