I am a last year medical student and an intern in Neonatology at Sapienza University, Rome. I am part of “The Doctor as a Humanist” international association and my goal is to make Medicine an interdisciplinary field, which combines both scientific and philosophical knowledge, as it used to be for great ancestors like Leonardo Da Vinci and Aristoteles. I think University should prepare medical students to make the difficult decisions they will have to take, choosing the right therapy for the right patient.
