Why Choose This Field

Medical professionals work in research institutes, pharmacies, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, ambulance stations, polyclinics, insurance organizations, and commercial clinics.

Every 5–10 years, the understanding of the causes of diseases and approaches to their treatment changes radically; therefore, to remain a competent professional, one must engage in continuous learning.

In addition to being prepared for a long period of study and a very high level of responsibility, doctors need a rather specific set of personal qualities. They must combine a high level of empathy and stress resistance, cleanliness, a lack of squeamishness, quick reaction times for taking emergency measures, and patience when monitoring the course of treatment. The modern development of medicine will also require them to be prepared to work with information technologies.
