According to him, YSMU has an amazing staff. \u201cThe learning is mostly done in study groups which creates a healthy competitive environment. This also allows our professors to give us undivided individual attention\u201d, Hivi Kumanayake says.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He chose the profession of a doctor as he was really good at learning science and other scientific subjects. \u201cBesides, my mother is a doctor, general physician, though right now she is working at the administrative part of the hospital. So, I thought that was what I was supposed to do\u201d, Hivi notes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He is convinced: being able to help people when they are in need is a privilege. It\u2019s not a coincidence that doctors are respected worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the challenges he singles out the necessity to learn a lot. \u201cEven after finishing the MD Degree, I think we will have a lot to learn\u201d, Hivi assures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He has an interesting hobby: he plays chess, which he knows is very popular in Armenia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hivi Kumanayake reminds to his juniors once again that coming to YSMU is privilege and an opportunity. \u201cDoing medical degree is not easy: if it was easy, everyone would do it. You have to be consistent, you have to be focused, and have trust in yourself\u201d, he concludes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More than 200 Sri Lankan students are currently studying at the Medical University.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The \u201cMD\u201d Degree of the Medical University was re-approved by the Medical Council of Sri Lanka, which is the result of the re-accreditation of the given educational program of the Medical University.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-175659 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ysmu.am\/en\/news\/shrilankatsi-usanoghy-epbh-um-sovorel\/attachment\/hivi_4-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/ysmu.am\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hivi_4-569x367.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ysmu.am\/en\/news\/shrilankatsi-usanoghy-epbh-um-sovorel\/attachment\/hivi_3-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/ysmu.am\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hivi_3-569x367.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/ysmu.am\/en\/news\/shrilankatsi-usanoghy-epbh-um-sovorel\/attachment\/hivi_2-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"569\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/ysmu.am\/v2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/hivi_2-569x367.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Future endocrinologist Hivi Kumanayake has come to Armenia from Sri Lanka. 3rd year student of the Faculty of General Medicine chose to come to Armenia as he heard YSMU had a really good education system which was affordable as well.
