Le parole di chi ha scelto un'esperienza all'estero
Ortensia
Medico
“Ho studiato un anno a Praga durante l’Università. E’ un’esperienza che consiglierei a tutti non solo perché ho conosciuto tantissime persone, ma ho avuto anche modo di imparare altre culture, ad arrangiarmi da sola ed a vivere in un altro contento. E’ stata davvero un’esperienza che mi ha cambiato la vita”
Giorgio
Medico
“Studiare all’estero è fondamentale nella formazione di un medico, sia dal punto di vista accademico che dal punto di vista umano. Il mondo è molto più grande della sola Italia, questa esperienza mi ha permesso di essere oggi un medico più preparato.”
Francesca
Medico
“E’ stata senza dubbio un’esperienza che mi ha arricchito non solo professionalmente ma anche umanamente e culturalmente. Conoscere diverse realtà è sicuramente una delle cose che consiglierei a ogni studente che si approccia all’ambito medico”
