Advantages of studying in Russia for foreign nationals — © FEFU

Joen Ann Wengler, India

I feel that medicine is my calling

I deliberately chose the university abroad and almost immediately decided to go to Russia. Of course, this is very far from India, and the climate is completely different, and the traditions and cultural characteristics are very different, but I'm glad that I am here. You know, it's very interesting to study at FEFU. We have lectures and practical classes, Russian and Latin languages in our programme, and I am happy to absorb new knowledge. By the way, I learned to bake Russian pancakes here, I adore them. When I came home for a vacation, I treated my relatives with them. My family was delighted!

Unfortunately, there are many health problems in India. Doctors are lacking, they do not cope with the huge daily flow of patients in city clinics. I study at the School of Biomedicine on the General Medicine Programme. I feel that medicine is my calling. I intend to get a job in my specialty after graduation and to make my own, albeit small, contribution to solving this problem.
