Studying medicine in Venezuela is extremely difficult due to the lack of resources and materials, the precariousness of the facilities and the shortage of qualified teaching staff. Students must face long study days, a demanding curriculum and the pressure of knowing that the lives of their future patients depend on their academic training. In addition, the socioeconomic situation of the country negatively affects medical students, as inflation and shortages of medical supplies make learning and clinical practice difficult. Despite all these difficulties, medical students in Venezuela show great determination and effort to complete their training and become doctors committed to the welfare of the population.
