During school I was looking for a profession allowing me to live out my fascination for natural sciences and to work together in a team with people from totally different scientific backgrounds. Medicine as a professional perspective came to my mind because I was excited about the idea, that the biological conditions inside our body and in our direct environment influences every single part of human life. I think that knowledge about the human biological system and its interactions with the environment helps us to make reasonable and sustainable decision to improve every ones daily life. Medical studies enable me to gain a broad knowledge of the human body and physiology that will help me to set medical observations in a proper context. However most important for my decision to strive a medical career was that medicine is a subject of applied science, teaching how to help patients, how to continuously improve diagnostics and medical treatment, how to identify challenges for human health and wellbeing and most important – how to cope with those challenges.
