“My time spent in this University has been unequivocally one of the most valuable experiences in my life”

“I am Stephen Suleiman Tamanuwa, a Ternopil State Medical University alumnus. I am from Nigeria. My time spent in this University has been unequivocally one of the most valuable experiences in my life. TSMU is a place where students choose to sip, drink or soak themselves into knowledge. The academic curriculum is comparable with any standard Medical University. Ternopil is a student-friendly city; financially, socially and religiously speaking. I’m glad to be here”.

I am doctor Precious Isogie from Edo State (Southern part of Nigeria), I studied at Ivan Horbachevsky Ternopil State Medical University in 2011-2016. My experience in TSMU was challenging just like any other university in the world. To start off I left my home country Nigeria to fulfill my dreams of becoming a dental surgeon. I was glad when i got admission to a prestigious school in the Ukraine. The excitement of travelling abroad was overwhelming. I was welcomed into the TSMU family with different ethnic background, accents, religion, culture and lifestyle.

Discipline and orderliness are the major factor one has to have to be able to successfully complete the study program in Ukraine. The school authorities (doctors, professors, lecturers) made sure we were instilled with these characteristics and many more. For that I am grateful to all my professors for helping me not only to become a better doctor but a better person.

I learned how to prioritize and balance my academic and social life, which TSMU gave me a great platform to do so. I was in a group with about 10 other students for the duration of my academic stay, students from different part of the world, we learnt to accommodate each other, be respectfull to one another to have an effective learning environment. One of the things I really liked was the fact that all materials, subjects, practical works, videos, pictures and notes were made ready on the school website.

I strongly recommend you to go to study at Ivan Horbachevsky Ternopil State Medical University.

I am Adam Faisal, currently serving my country as a physician with the Federal Ministry of works, land and housing hospital in Abuja, Nigeria. I graduated from TSMU in 2013 and since then the knowledge and experiences garnered as a student in the institution have helped me immensely. It enabled me pass The Nigerian medical qualifying examinations immediately after my graduation and has been most vital in enabling me successfully practice my chosen professions. With the benefits of hindsight, I can say that the institution is world class standard and equipped with the best facilities and manpower needed to forge a fresh entrant into a knowledgeable professional ready to make a mark on the world. It is a well rounded and balanced institution with facilities that has shaped my interest and understanding of medicine and over the period of six years while I was a student the school have continued to improve and upgrade its facilities and faculty even in areas where i used to think the was no room for further improvement. The small group size enables students to have adequate exposure and interaction with the lecturers and this make it easier to grasp difficult scientific and medical concepts which sometimes seem esoteric. The memories and experiences I had in the school are some of my most treasured ones and I will dare say that attending the school has been one of the most important steps in have taken in my life so far.

Ternopil State Medical University offered me the possibility to pursue a career in medicine. My years at TSMU afforded me the opportunity to collaborate with extraordinary people who were my professors, clinical teachers and fellow classmates. TSMU is unique in its ability to bring together students from different nationalities, all striving for the highest quality medical education in Ukraine. The learning experience at TSMU laid a solid foundation for my clinical skills and future endeavors as a physician.

As an international medical graduate, I am proud to be an alumni of TSMU!
