"This program has significantly impacted my future career and personal development. Professionally, it has allowed me to connect with key professionals in the specific field of my research. These relationships are incredibly valuable, and I look forward to continuing to collaborate with them. The research I conducted during this program is also forming the basis for several papers that I plan to submit to medical journals, an important step toward my future PhD journey. I’ve also gained greater confidence as a researcher."
