Experience in School

My experience in SKEMA Business School is very much enriching. It definitely help me to shape my career aspirations which align with my personal value and even worldview. The management system in my university quite efficient and systematic. Every year, we, students are required to give personal feedback on our learning and courses for each semesters. It is very helpful as it could assist my university to improve its lacking in every aspects.

UFCSPA- Home of Diversity, Science and Education

I am an international student at UFCSPA and I will be graduating next summer. Over the past 6 years that I've been in this institution, I have learned more than just medicine. I am a true believer that doctor and medical education need to be revolutionized. In my school, I found that we need to stop thinking about medicine as a business and rather as a right for all beings. That education needs to be made for the people first and not necessarily for the industry and that doctors serve these people, our community. I have the privilege to study in a unique public university with a prestigious past, With an envisioned future and with a great endeavor to move forward. An incredible campus, a humane staff and where science meets humanity. I must say that although we did have struggles (and we do all) I don't regret anything and encourage others to pursue their dreams here #GoBrazil #PublicEducation #EducationForAll #OpenAccess #EduOpinions
