You have already done a lot – you have gone through a difficult stage of entrance exams, an equally difficult, but interesting path to the profession is ahead. I hope your choice is balanced and deliberate. You will face a lot of information. You will have to memorize, analyze, take notes a lot. I am sure you can handle it and you will show yourself not only in your studies, but also in the social life of the university. Starting from the first year, find a topic that interests you, form your dream into concrete proposals. All the best and the most relevant will definitely be supported by the university administration. I would like to emphasize that the student scientific society, student self-government, volunteer movement are actively developing at Kursk State Medical University, interest clubs, student sports clubs have been created, and creative teams are successfully showing themselves. There is a huge space and opportunities for professional, social self-realization. Good luck!
It is important to understand that hardworking, compassionate people come to medicine, ready to constantly improve in their profession, living and burning with their work. You should already have a sincere desire to help people. This is the only way you can become a real professional and make a successful career.
