Meet the Future Doctors: Our First-Year Students Share Their Stories

10 students, 10 views, 10 future plans.

I chose medicine for many reasons. The first is the well-known one – the desire to help people. I also believe it is one of the most diverse fields, offering numerous avenues to explore. It’s truly one of those ever-evolving fields that constantly challenges you and provides continuous learning opportunities.

I have a strong interest in surgery, and I completed an internship in that area, so I might pursue that path.

Hi, I chose this university because I have always wanted to be a doctor. Charles University is one of the most prestigious institutions, and I’m eager to become part of its legacy, contribute to its future, and make a meaningful impact.

I aspire to become a surgeon, though I haven’t decided on a specific area yet. Perhaps cardiovascular surgery, but I’ll see where my studies lead me.

Umay Arpaci

Hi, I’m Kaustubhi, and I study at the Second Faculty of Medicine. Today is a big day, and it reminds me of why I chose medicine. I was just 6 years old when I realized I wanted to pursue this path, and it feels surreal to finally be starting my studies. I have always loved science, helping others, and communication. I’m a very social person who enjoys meeting new people, so this career seemed like the perfect blend of science and interpersonal connection.

As for my specialty, I’m still undecided. I’m torn between obstetrics and gynaecology, and neurology. These next six years will help me figure it out.

Hi, my name is Rehan and I’m a first-year student at the Second Faculty of Medicine at Charles University. I chose medicine because it’s a field that is constantly developing and evolving, with new ways to discover and help people. I hope to specialize in cardiothoracic surgery.

Hi, I’m Esha. I chose to pursue medicine because I believe it’s a powerful career that can change so many lives. It’s one of the few professions where every day brings something new—a fresh challenge, and an opportunity to learn something that benefits both yourself and those around you.

I would like to specialize in plastic surgery because I believe it can have a significant impact on someone's life and truly transform how they see themselves on a day-to-day basis.

Hi, I’m Zara. I chose medicine because it offers the perfect balance of communicating with patients, understanding their concerns, and helping them with their issues. I also have a deep passion for learning biology and understanding how the body works.

Hello, my name is Muhammad, and I’m studying at the Second Faculty of Medicine at Charles University. I chose medicine because I want to work in a highly interactive field where I can help patients directly. The scientific aspect also excites me, and the combination of both makes perfect sense to me.

Muhammad Musa

Hi, my name is Arya, and I’m from India. I hope to specialize in oncology in the future. Initially, I didn’t know I wanted to pursue medicine, but after working at a nearby hospital and witnessing the impact doctors have on patients and their families, I was deeply moved. It inspired me to connect with people in the same way I’ve seen doctors do, and I hope to achieve that in the future at Charles University.
