Internship of our student Hana Petkova in Taiwan

„Thanks to the IFMSA and Mobility Foundation, I had an opportunity to take up an internship at Fu Jen University in Taiwan this past June,” wrote us student of the 5^th year Hana Petkova.  “The month-long journey was full of unforgettable experiences, both in the hospital and outside. The quality of medical care in Taiwan is top-notch - even with my already high expectations, I was still amazed upon arrival. Everything from the centralized healthcare documentation, archived also completely in English, the state-of-the-art equipment at the facilities, to the expert staff and their approach to patient care and students. Everything was perfect. I spent my internship under the guidance of two doctors, which led to some amazing opportunities, e.g. I got to observe an open-heart surgery in person, or try my hands on an esophageal sonography. I cannot recommend the internship enough to everyone who gets a chance. The island of Taiwan is a beautiful destination with rich history and extremely welcoming people.”
