Universidad Central de Venezuela - UCV Speciality : Medicine And Surgery
programme: Medical Science

I’m currently a student at the Medicine program at Universidad Central de Venezuela and I can say that being a part of this college has changed my life. I have not only learned from excellent professors and professionals, I also have made lifelong friends and learnt a lot of what it means to be a Doctor. I have learnt the importance of persistence, resilience and work ethic and how impactful a Doctor is to society. Not only that, I have a new understanding of the importance of all medical professionals, including nurses, nutritionists and physical therapists. Not everything is rose colored though, I had to wait four years to start my program because of multiple delays and internal issues. That waiting time really made me think and sometimes I wanted to give up, but I realized that being a doctor was my calling, my mission in life and my time in college showed me what a great decision I made. All of the things I have learnt and all of the experiences I’ve had so far are worth it and I wouldn’t change them for anything.
