Gita dalinasi savo patirtimi:
As part of the Erasmus program in the Lithuania, I spent a total of 2 memorable and adventurous months of practice. My practice was at ambulance and I initially was a little worried about how it would be and how easy it will be to adapt in new environment. Then, from the first moment, when I met my new colleagues I was able to leave all my fears behind.
Everyone was so welcoming, polite and friendly, that I felt incredibly good and relaxed.
Practice was so exciting because at ambulance you never know what kind of call you will get, and what will be patient’s condition etc. I was able to work with Covid-19 patients, saw car crush, fire, different heart diseases, mental illnesses, patients after surgeries and vaccines, injuries (different fractures) and not only adults, but children too. I was actively participating and assisting the staff.
In general, I got a lot of positive feelings, opportunities to use my knowledge and be useful in every day’s work at practice. I gained both theoretical and practical knowledge. Staff was willing to share knowledge and ready to teach new team member during working process.
To be honest, I am very happy that I speak Russian and Latvian, then I could actually be able to understand a lot of things in Lithuanian!
Yes, sadly because of Covid-19 I was not able to enjoy everything what Vilnius could offer on normal daily basis, but it takes me only 4 hour drive to get here, so I will definitely visit Vilnius again in summer time!
Strongly recommend to every student, who has the opportunity, to go for Erasmus. It opens up a wider view of medicine and life in general. It gives a chance to test your own abilities, and skills, gives you a possibility to meet new people, hear their stories, be inspired and also make amazing friendships! It was a lifetime experience for me and I am more than glad that I was here in Vilnius. Thank you!!!!
