Internship at the Faculty of Medicine: a first-person experience in the north of the country
“We collided with a reality that we knew but seeing it is totally different, seeing the disease beyond a book, listening to people and being able to help them, that they thank you for doing it is something priceless,” said Martina Cambre, a medical student, in dialogue with LU9 Radio Mar del Plata.
The students of the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Mar del Plata carried out their final practices in different areas of the north of the country with a health camp to assist the most needy people.
In a dialogue with LU9 Radio Mar del Plata, Martina Cambre, a medical student, commented: “We took the last final exam in a few days and if everything goes well we will graduate, we are happy and anxious.”
In his tour of the profession, he said that “from school I knew I liked it, then I met professionals in the field and I loved it. I started with many doubts because it is a heavy and demanding career, but I encouraged myself and when the career opened I ran to sign me up because it was something the city needed.
For these practices in the north, “all of us from the first group made the trip, the sanitary camp, we spent 10 days sharing a little, we were learning, doing everything by trial and error.”
With this experience, he defined his interest in psychiatry where “you work with many psychologists and other specialties, a very rich specialty and that with this pandemic is much more booming. Medicine never ends, you are always studying, learning, the things are updated, so it is a constant study”.
On this trip, “I had to go to Salta, they were quite interesting areas to work in, in my experience it was gratifying, we learned beyond medicine, it brought us together as a group, we learned to live together,” he highlighted.
Likewise, the most important thing is that “we met people, we treated diseases, we ran into a reality that we knew but seeing it is totally different, seeing disease beyond a book, listening to people and being able to help them, that thank you for doing it is something priceless,” he said.
