Which is your desired specialty and why?

Throughout my clinical electives in pediatrics, it turned out, the diseases of childhood were very interesting to me. I love that as a pediatrician, you can treat illness, prevent injuries and promote healthy habits and you can choose between being a true generalist or choosing one of the many sub-specialties or even doing research. It’s a very magical thing watching a child grow from babyhood to adulthood, with all of the stages in between. I recognized from the beginning that you are often taking care of the family unit to optimize their health and wellbeing. As a pediatrician, you’re touching lives in a lasting way. What an amazing privilege!
