Dear First-Year Students!

Dear First-Year Students!

I sincerely welcome you to the great family of Bukovinian State Medical University!

Today, you begin your journey toward your dream profession — one that demands knowledge, resilience, responsibility, and compassion. You have become students in a challenging time, a time when Ukraine is fighting for its freedom, independence, and future.

To be a medical student is not only about studying — it is also about bearing responsibility to those who, at the cost of their own lives, defend our right to live, learn, and work. Your dedication to learning, your pursuit of knowledge, and your desire to grow are the best expression of gratitude to our Defenders.

You are the future doctors, pharmacists, rehabilitologists, and dentists who will continue the noble path of serving human life. The future of medicine — and of our country — depends on you. Ahead lie years of challenges, discoveries, friendships, and personal growth. Do not fear difficulties — learn to overcome them, believe in yourselves and in those beside you.

Wishing you a successful start, inspiration, and confidence in your own strength!

Together — toward Victory, together — toward professional excellence!

With respect,
Professor Ihor Herush
Rector of Bukovinian State Medical University
