"I have the honor to address you on behalf of the whole Medical School."
Medicine is one of the broadest among other specialties and requires the arduous task of going through tomes of literature during studentship and professional occupation alike. However, regardless of popular opinions, it is not hard at all. It is, however, difficult to teach medicine, and especially to combine its theoretical and practical aspects. Therefore, we've created a program where basic and clinical medicine are fully integrated on all stages of education, as for working with large informative sources, we've worked a method using which we'll be able to sail through the said material with relative ease.
This program was created by doctors and is implemented by them as well, which means that at all stages of studies, you will be learning from the specialists who are in touch with diseases on a daily basis and possess valuable information necessary for correctly responding to situations with patients.
We are not limited to simply teaching you medicine. We offer you an unforgettable journey through the micro and macro worlds of the human body, using modern medical literature, multimedia means and medical simulators. We welcome you to major clinics where you'll be able to fully experience a realistic medical environment and help solve real tasks and use techniques that will later be crucial for conducting independent procedures in your future specialty.
We aim to produce doctors who not only know how to prescribe medicine or conduct procedures, but understand why they're doing this, and can contribute to the future development of medicine and communicate with colleagues on an international level. Medicine is an illness of sorts, and if you have it, being a doctor will be a very pleasant experience. This is the only disease that serves the sole purpose of curing others.
Here at GAU, our medical specialists are ready to help you walk the paths they've already walked, hoping you'll have more to bring to the field. For this, we only require effort from you. I'd be delighted to personally talk to every single one of you about this unique program. The medical school's doors are always open for you. I wish you the best of luck!
