In the courtyard of Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi, at the \u201cGreen Zone\u201d student area, a solemn ceremony was held to welcome the newly admitted first-year students.
\nAnnouncing the official start of the 2025-2026 academic year, YSMU Rector, Professor Armen Muradyan greeted the new members of the large \u201cHeratsi\u201d family.
\n\u201cHaving overcome the difficult entrance examinations, today you are joining the great White Army, entrusted with the responsibility for people\u2019s health and lives. First and foremost, I wish for you to truly love the path you have chosen. And let me assure you \u2014 if at any point during these years you feel unsure or struggle, the greatest challenge you will face is to ask yourselves whether you made the right decision by choosing the responsible path of becoming a physician.
\nThe long and intense academic journey at the medical university will first and foremost instill in you a deep sense of responsibility \u2014 a responsibility symbolized by the white coats you wear today for the first time. This is an immense obligation. Know that whether you are wearing the coat or not, people will always see in you a figure they trust. A physician\u2019s authority carries great influence and even greater responsibility.
\nThis must be demonstrated not only through your conduct and professional ethics, but also through your evidence-based approach, your initiative, and your boundless compassion,\u201d the Rector said, emphasizing that there were no successful or reputable doctors who had not lived with the pain and problems of others.
\n\u201cFrom today, your time is no longer your own; your personal space is no longer just yours. You have chosen a path where you will live primarily through the concerns and sufferings of others. You are joining a great family that for 100 years has served our people and also other nations, whose students have come from distant countries to study in Armenia.
\nFrom this day forward, you become part of that family \u2014 the very hands that helped deliver your parents, grandparents. For a century, those studying within these walls have brought health to our people and stood at the forefront during all crises \u2014 wars or pandemics.
\nWhether you serve individuals or entire nations, remember: Heratsi alumni have always led by example \u2014 with their knowledge, discipline, and sense of duty. I promise you that here you will receive everything that modern medical education can offer. Moreover, I assure you that you will not only come to know, hear, and observe your instructors \u2014 you will learn from them, respect them, and love them.
\nThey are individuals of great depth, who have educated generations. From the outset, you must treat them with the utmost reverence,\u201d Professor Muradyan emphasized, adding that many of the current faculty members are themselves graduates of the university, and the new students will meet and work with them \u2014 they will not be the first generation to experience their high standards and rigorous expectations.
\nAs a result, another generation will be formed \u2014 proudly and confidently bearing the name \u201cHeratsi alumni,\u201d and dedicating themselves to a life of noble service.
\n\u201cWelcome to Yerevan State Medical University named after Mkhitar Heratsi,\u201d the Rector solemnly declared.
\nAfter the opening ceremony, the deans and academic coordinators of each faculty presented detailed information to the new students about the academic process, addressing all questions and clarifying important details.<\/p>\n
