There aren't many opportunities in life. Most of the time, we either try to create them or some of them happen to us, and we take them. This is exactly why the education program of Hemofarm Foundation YOU CAN DO IT, whose founder is Hemofarm, a member of the STADA group, is an opportunity that should not be missed.
Not only does the program provide monthly financial support for final-year students of medical, pharmaceutical, biological, chemical, technical and technological faculties founded by the Republic of Serbia, but it also provides mentoring support throughout the year and professional practice in one of the most modern pharmaceutical companies. Along with a mentor and professional practice at Hemofarm's plants in Vršac and Šabac, there is an additional work with scholarship holders on developing communication and presentation skills, skills in writing a resume and motivational letter, time management, and team spirit. Interview simulations are organized, as well as workshops on the proper use of the business network LinkedIn with the aim to successfully present oneself to the employer. Special attention is paid to lectures on emotional leadership, socially responsible business and sustainable development. Emphasis is also placed on psycho-social support for people and the topics of stress management, conflict resolution and work-life balance.
The student of the Medical Faculty, Nebojša Brezić, who graduated with the highest grade during the program, says that Program for Education of Hemofarm Foundation is the ideal supplement to the formal education that he received at the faculty.
“The study program often neglects the practical aspect of the work we will be doing, and Hemofarm is an ideal environment in which young people have the opportunity to get to know their future profession, be it in the field of medicine, pharmacy, technology, engineering or other sciences. In addition, the program brings more benefits in the form of lectures on a wide variety of topics, as well as numerous acquaintances with the greatest experts in their fields.,” says Nebojša.
The mentor, Andrijana Srebotnjak, manager of medical affairs and pharmacovigilance in Hemofarm says about her mentee that working with Nebojša was exceptional.
“ For me as a mentor, the most significant experience is finding out how the new generation of young doctors think and what value system guides them, what challenges them and what motivates them. As for me personally, after the mentoring process, I am richer for an experience of working with a smart and hard-working man who has a bright future in the field of medicine.,” emphasized Andrijana.
