Thoughts from our students

Anastasia Balta (Greece), Faculty of Medicine – English section, 5th year, President of EMSA Iasi:

 

“Before completing the Panhellenic series of exams, I realised I wouldn’t be able to enter the medical university in my country. As I was very passionate about medicine, I started looking for other options. Among them, I found Iasi –  a city that is small enough for everything to be within walking distance, but also large enough to host one of the biggest international communities in Romania. UMF Iasi is a university that, in the last four years, has always listened to our needs by renovating classrooms, offering us a Simulation Center, holding classes in a hybrid and then an on site manner and offering us international students a possibility to get vaccinated in Iasi. I am more than grateful for the opportunity to become a doctor and for everything offered to me along the way.”

 

Jihane Al Echcheikh El Alaoui (Morocco), Faculty of Medicine – English section, 6th year:

 

“After studying architecture for two years and not finding much fulfillment in my academic life, I had a lot of trouble realizing what I truly wanted to accomplish professionally. Making the decision to study medicine at UMF Iasi has opened the door for many career opportunities for me, which I am extremely grateful for. It has finally allowed me to not only feel confident, but to also flourish academically. Coming from Morocco, it has been refreshing to make international long-lasting friendships with motivated students from all over the globe, and to be able to partake in extracurricular activities in the context of student associations such as EMSA Iasi.”

 

Filzah Mughal (Canada), Faculty of Medicine – English section, 4th year:

 

“I’ve always wanted to study medicine and initially wanted to apply to a Canadian university. However, getting a medical degree back home is very complicated and time consuming, so when I was recommended Romania by some family and friends, I was intrigued. After further research, I decided to apply to Iasi – and I am very glad I did. I’ve found Iasi to be an amazing city, and the university to be a great place to learn. UMF is continuously modernizing, with many new additions such as the simulation center which really adds to our practical education. We are also given interactive lessons in the hospitals with real cases and I find that to be very helpful. There’s so much diversity in terms of students here as well and I’ve gotten to the chance to meet friends from all over the world. I’m very appreciative of the many opportunities UMF and Iasi have offered me.”

 

Tiberio Claudio Sapone (Italy), Faculty of Medicine – English section, 5th year:

 

“I always wished to study medicine and become a doctor in order to help all the people as much as I can. Unfortunately, my native country (Italy) couldn’t give me the opportunity to pursue my dream – but thanks to UMF, I’m still chasing it. I also had the pleasure to be involved in a very successful and affirmed organization called EMSA, which helped me in my worst moments to rise up and keep going. I will never be thankful enough to UMF Iasi and EMSA for all the opportunity they gave me.”

 

Emilie Janho (Switzerland), Faculty of Medicine – French section, 4th year:

 

“I am very grateful to have the chance to study at UMF Iasi. In the past three years, I have had many opportunities, such as being able to participate in on-call duties, have lessons in the simulation center which helped me learn more practically than just theoretically, and the opportunity to join an international community that is also a family through EMSA Iasi. Above everything though, I will be able achieve my dream job goal, and for this, I will never forget my journey in Iasi.”

 

Morhaf M. S. Hittini (Palestine), Faculty of Medicine – Romanian section, 5th year:

 

“Having this experience and creating these kind of memorable moments will absolutely leave an unforgettable print on us. UMF Iasi has given me and many others a new perspective on life by expanding our knowledge, leading us to new adventures with our new experiences to touch more lives and help those in need. It has allowed us to learn about new cultures and meet new people from all around the world and share our knowledge, cultures and experiences – having the chance to create a better world, a more innovative medical future and a safer environment to help and save more lives.”

 

Magda El Fakir (Israel), Faculty of Medicine – English section, 6th year:

 

“Growing up in Israel being raised by a Romanian mother and an Arab father has always left me wondering about daily life and studies in my other country of origin. I am so happy to have taken the step to fully experience what Romania has to offer throughout the 5 years I’ve been here. Moreover, UMF Iasi has offered me and many others what many medical schools do not: being able to translate our theoretical knowledge into practice, as well as individualized teaching that will propel us towards a radiant future.”
