I enrolled in the International Medical Doctor Program in UniSR back in 2019. My class got very familiar very early with the incredible integration between research and clinical activity that takes place in San Raffaele from the preclinical years, having the opportunity to meet world-class researchers in multiple fields, and I also had the opportunity of living UniSR to the fullest getting involved with -and founding- multiple student groups and initiatives, such as student representation and cultural activities. The fun started during the clincal years when I got involved very early on with ophthalmology, which became my career path after graduating. I had the chance to participate in numerous clinical and research projects. UniSR highly encourages international mobility for students, and through my ophthalmology Professors I also had the chance to attend an important ophthalmic institution in London for both clinical activity and research.
Overall my years in UniSR were outstanding, I made incredible lasting friendships and had multiple growth experiences both academically and in life. I will forever be proud to call UniSR my home.
