Dr. Pandey Mayank (graduate of 2022) |
I graduated from VSMU in 2022 and cleared FMGE examination in India from the first attempt. It wouldn’t be possible without the support of VSMU ... I think it is one of the best Universities in Europe... I received amazing memories during the course of 6 years. VSMU helped me to achieve my goal. I am proud to be a part of VSMU and will always miss the university and Belarus. You will be close to my heart always! |

Dr. Tharushi Suwanthri Abeynayake (graduate of 2019) |
I would like to take this opportunity to express how grateful I am for being part of Vitebsk State Medical University for almost 7 years. Unique thing about VSMU is that the theoretical classes are done in small groups (there are about 12 students and one qualified professor for each group) and Students are given unlimited access to clinical laboratories to use real cadavers and specimens to gain practical knowledge. Moreover, there are Clinical rotations at state hospitals for each specialty in the final 4 years. Infrastructure of VSMU is amazing with comfortable high-tech classrooms, Electronic libraries, well equipped laboratories, Anatomy museums, gymnasium, Basketball court, an auditorium where students could perform during Autumn, Spring concerts and other cultural activities and 4-5 cafes and kiosks. The International student Hostel was furnished, clean and well maintained with private kitchen and Bathroom for each block (4-5 students) and the hostel environment was very safe for foreign students with a 24-hour reception. Furthermore, VSMU is recognized by WHO and Medical councils of UK, Australia, New Zealand,USA, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal and many other countries. I must also mention the quick responses and assistance given to me by the international department of VSMU in obtaining Documents required by Foreign Medical councils even though it has been 4 years since I graduated. Thank you! VSMU and the beautiful Vitebsk city I’m grateful for all the knowledge I gained, experiences I learnt and everlasting friendships I made with amazing people from various countries. Finally, I want to thank our Former Dean (Prof. VASILIEV Oleg Miloslavovich, Vice Dean Faina Ivanovna Vysotskaya, Pre-med Russian Language teacher who made me fall in love with the language – Oksana Borisovna, all my beloved professors, Dean’s office, international student affairs administration staff and each and every employer at Vitebsk State Medical University and all my friendsfor making my university journey a memorable one. Большое спасибо, ВГМУ! |

Dr. Emmanuel Annor (graduate of 2016) |
Deciding to study medicine at VSMU, was one of the best decisions I've made in life. I studied at the preparatory course in 2009, before starting the actual course in 2010. Over the 6-year period, VSMU didn't only make me become a good doctor, but also prepared me for the real world. The knowledge, skills and experience I acquired during my training at VSMU was immeasurable. The solid foundation has propelled me way ahead of my colleagues, and has made me unique wherever I go. A very big thank you to all my lecturers, professors, administrative staff and the entire workforce of this prestigious university, as your efforts have produced great doctors across the globe. In 2023, I'll be practicing in the UK as a registered doctor. This dream wouldn't have been possible without the support I received from VSMU. You're all amazing, and to sum it all up, "l'm very proud to be a part of the VSMU family" |

It indeed is a great pleasure for me to have been part of this university for almost 7 years and each and every person concerned has played a vital role in completing my degree and internship program. I want to thank Vitebsk State Medical University and all the course instructors, teachers, and management from the core of my heart for the wonderful and knowledgeable time I have spent at this university. To name a few, Dr. Tesfaye and Proff. Generalov who have helped me enormously and made me understand difficult concepts very easily. From the perspective of the dean's office, thank you Maria Alakseevna and Faina Ivanovna for assisting me and making life at VSMU easier. I am feeling a little sad that I won't be associated with any of these wonderful people anymore but I am leaving with lots of great memories to cherish. It would be a great pleasure if I could help the university in any regards for its betterment. |

Dr. Mahmoud Bakkour (graduate 1999) | It is a great honor for me to write about my unforgettable years at VSMU. Few lines may not be enough to express my deep feelings toward this great university and those great people with whom I spent best seven years in my life. When I was at VSMU I didn't realize how deep is my feeling toward the university, people and my great teachers. Year after year especially after I was specialized in cardiology at the American University of Beirut Hospital (AUH)-Lebanon, then sub specialized in cardiology at Universitecatholique de Lille -France,i realized how proud I am being one graduate of VSMU. I am always trying to reflect the good opinion and give the good example and to be the ambassador of VSMU outside. I still have a dream to return one day and to walk on the Frunze prospect and to enter the university from that great wooden door and to visit every department and to meet every doctor, teacher ,administrative and employee· to say· "thank you a lot" for every day I spent at VSMU. This is not poetry but really I can't find better words to tell about what is inside me .In one word thank you and god bless you! |

El Hussein Hodr (graduate 2004) | Six years in Belarus is quite a long period of time, which gives possibility to observe the changes in the process of study. Great staff of professors and teachers - this is a great deposit for training highly skilled specialists. And opening of electronic library, books that are published at the university help and facilitate the process of training for foreign students. If one wants to check his theoretical knowledge – well-equipped study is at disposal. This is a great opportunity to get worthy education. The result of state exam of confirmation of qualification of my countrymen in Lebanon serves a prove to that.· I am talking about graduates of VSMU of pharmaceutical faculty of 2003 SalibJeskar, DaniAyb, Hussein Sahili and HaisamNakad· - they were among the best graduates from European universities. Thanks to tactful and kind attitude of Belarusian professors and teachers, we had no questions which could not be resolved. Even some domestic problems of foreign students were easy to overcome with the help of responsive people. I will remember forever this new world that I opened during studies in Vitebsk and I will keep kind memories forever! |

Dr. Prasad Alahackone (graduate 1996) |
Its a great pleasure and privilege to pen down few lines on this page, as a graduate of Vitebsk Sate Medical University , year 1996. I am working in Obstetrics and gynaecology currently in Sri Lanka since last year , after returning from a period of training and working at the Cambridge University Hospital, Uk and another two years in Australia. The segment, I spent learning various disciplines of Medicine at the VSMU was undoubtedly, the most valuable and memorable few years of my life. Not only it taught me medicine, but also moulded me and made me in to a man of humility and humanity to dispatch my duties professionally as a doctor. I also had the greatest opportunity to meet and make friends with many wonderful people who came from various countries, which definitely broadened my views and outlook towards different cultures of the world. Even today, we communicate and keep in touch as colleagues though, scattered in all corners of the globe. The friendly , warm and disciplined guidance of all the teachers was a blessing in achieving the ultimate target of taking the Hippocratic Oath as a proud product of the VSMU in 1996. I should mention the quick and courteous assistance given to me, by the international department of VSMU in obtaining the needed documents in 2011, when the medical board of Australia required "proof to the Medical Degree" to offer me the post of registrar in Obstetrics and Gynaecology there. Thank you Belarus and VSMU and all my teachers there, for all that you have given me. I bow my head with utmost respect to you, because I firmly believe if it wasn't for you I would not be the doctor i am today. |
