Spring Semester at Northern Arizona University: When a fulfilled dream combines with a valuable experience

Although trips to the USA through the VIA program are among the most expensive and the chances of going overseas are not very high, Petra Chovancová Panáčková, a student of Nutrition Therapy at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ostrava, managed to make it happen. She spent the spring semester at Northern Arizona University, fulfilling her big "American dream".

From Madagascar to Ostrava

We're talking about ten medical students from Madagascar who were given an incredible opportunity to spend part of the summer semester at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ostrava. They not only gained new knowledge, but also invaluable experience.
