STR / AFP.Fourth-year medical student Alexandra says she wants to become an infection specialist, but when her school said students must do their required training in a coronavirus ward, she balked.
Students of all medical fields, including dentistry and pediatrics, are affected, according to the decree. “We’re not doctors yet, our task is to get an education,” said Alexandra. “There are fears that we will be of no use and spread the infection instead.” The Pirogov university and the department of health in the Moscow government did not respond to a request for comment.
