Just having finished school, I found it quite difficult to choose a career in the first place, as it meant to leave the other options behind.
Studying medicine allows me to combine many of my interests and after graduating from university I will still have the choice between different occupational fields and specializations or I will even be able to combine them.
Doing research as an MD student gives me the opportunity not only to accept established therapies but to actually take part in the scientific process of developing new strategies.

I understand foundational research as the most important tool, to steadily evolve the impact of medicine.
