General Information

As a doctor, I would like to use my skills and knowledge to help people to overcome diseases and health barriers allowing them to achieve the highest possible quality of life. Throughout my studies, I had been present in an international organisation called European Medical Students Association (EMSA). There, I took parts in various events and seminars which mainly aimed to raise the public health awareness. During my first year in EMSA, I became the Public Health Coordinator. Therewith, I volunteered in ‘Health Screening Tour of Black Sea’; a project concerning health issues caused by welfare gap. I also was a volunteer, then the leader, of the ‘Teddy Bear Hospital’; a project which educated children on common health knowledge. The year after, when I became the EMSA’s Internal Vice President, I participated in a Leadership Training Program which highly broadened my understanding of organisational management as well as it improved my leadership skills. Being in contact with well-known NGOs and being a member of EMSA and Rotary led me form a strong desire to learn more about organisational development and management. My summer internship at Assos Pharmaceuticals enabled me to see companies from an inner perspective, hence, improved my understanding of the relation between work place and employees’ health. Lately, I formed a strong desire to top my studies with another subject that I am highly interested in, which is organisations. However, finding a combination of health and organisational management was a great obstacle. Also, all the experiences I had in various countries and international platforms opened my eyes on diversity. Thus, as my admiration for the Scandinavian, more specifically Swedish, culture reached its peak; continuing my studies in Sweden would be nothing but a dream come true. With the experience I have gained in working at the emergency department, I see myself emerging as a natural leader and controller of the hardest situations. Leaders are those few who do manage to balance the use of their “lever and fulcrum”. The building of a successful lever has only just begun for me. There is still so much that I have not seen or done. Life is full of opportunities that can lead to great experiences which will aid me in becoming the best doctor and scientist I can possibly be.
