Complex clinical cases and manual skills development: students from Bolivia and Taiwan intern at PRMU
Future cardiovascular surgeons: Rosa - Elvira Paulo Pimentel – a student from Universidad Privada del Valle in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and Chen Wan Lin – from Kaohsiung Medical University, Taiwan, are interning at the Department of Hospital Surgery named after B.A. Korolev. They are learning how to examine cardiovascular patients, identify diseases and develop treatment tactics.
“I communicate a lot with patients, listen to their hearts and under the supervision of a mentor learn to identify what health problems brought them to the hospital. I also watch operations a lot. All the patients are very kind to me and, despite the fact that we understand each other only with an interpreter, they always say “thank you" and smile at me. I really like this internship,” Chen Wang Ling shares.
Rosa Elvira, a citizen of Peru studying in Bolivia, received a unique opportunity to develop manual skills during this internship.
“The doctor I study with trusts me (of course, under his supervision) to make access to the vessels, which will then turn into cardiac shunts that provide nutrition to the heart. This internship is very useful for me, because after graduating fr om university I want to become a cardiovascular surgeon and now I get a unique opportunity to master some manual skills by working with real patients,” says Rosa Elvira Paulo Pimentel.
Research Institute - Specialized Cardiac Surgery Clinical Hospital named after Academician B. A. Korolev is the clinical base of PRMU, wh ere students are trained under the supervision of mentors — doctors of the surgical department of coronary heart disease.
“They have a pretty high level, actually. They know a lot, we have discussed various clinical cases with them a lot, so they are well prepared,” said Alexey Tyurin, a cardiovascular surgeon.
A total of 15 students from the Republic of Belarus, Bolivia, Taiwan, Oman and India completed their internship at PIRMU this year.
“For an effective internship, it is very important how much the student himself wants to gain knowledge, how much he is ready to follow a certain rhythm of the clinic, merge into a team and study, study, study. Our guests from Bolivia and Taiwan fully demonstrated these qualities and got a great result!”, emphasizes the curator of the internship, associate professor of the Department of Hospital Surgery named after B.A. Korolev, Svetlana Nemirova.
The internship of Rosa Elvira and Chen Wang Lin takes place within the framework of the Academic mobility program of PRMU. During their two weeks in Nizhny Novgorod, they not only completed their studies, but also got acquainted with our university and the city, its culture and sights.
