Aspiring students seek insights into competitive medical programs in Finland

For those aspiring to study medicine, veterinary medicine, or dentistry, it’s essential to prepare diligently and persistently, as gaining admission to these programs is highly competitive. Despite a notable shortage of professionals in these fields, entry remains challenging.

We are currently seeking individuals who have repeatedly applied to medical, veterinary, or dental schools for interviews. We want to understand what motivates them to apply and how they feel about the ongoing discussions surrounding the healthcare workforce shortage, particularly when they aspire to join the field themselves.

Your name will not be published without your consent, and your information will only be used for journalistic purposes, handled strictly by personnel involved in the content creation.

– How difficult or easy have you found the application process?
