According to a memorandum of understanding between Birjand University of Medical Sciences and Khatam-Al-Nabieen University of Kabul, the first Afghan student has finished his study in supplementary education in Medical Sciences.
Najib-Allah Ahmadi studied for one year in this university to finish his study in supplementary education in Medical Sciences achieving high grades; in his interview with university news agency he said: "despite studying Medical Sciences for five years in Afghanistan at Khatam-Al-Nabieen University, according to a memorandum of understanding between Birjand University of Medical Sciences and Khatam-Al-Nabieen University of Kabul, I have passed an internship and supplementary education in Medical Sciences, studying for one year in Birjand University of Medical Sciences.
He mentioned to the application process and requirements for medical students of Afghanistan who aim to study in other countries such as India and Pakistan and then he added: "the reason why medical students do not apply for these countries are increased tuition in India and lack of safety and security in Pakistan".
He expressed his satisfaction regarding welfare and educational services of the university and mentioned the names of two other Afghan students studying for this supplementary education and then he added: "during this year, I accommodated in Vali-e-Asr private dormitory, and considering its facilities, it was great".
The Afghan student showed his gratitude to all professors and staffs of the university and hospitals of Birjand and he reminded:"they all behaved well to us and I never felt I am not an Iranian, and I have never seen misbehavior by Birjand citizens".
In his view, being so near as neighbor and having the same language are benefits of studying in Birjand. He said: "I really like to study again here if tuition fees reduce and if the application for residency is available.
He compared the differences of studying in Kabul and Birjand and he added: "when we came to Birjand, our basic knowledge was not as good as it should be. Thanks to our professors, we could improve a lot. It will be great if it is possible to study the complete course of medical science here".
At the end, he thanked university principal and all university members who provide facilities and services for Afghan students.
