Here in Albania there are 4 years that our state don’t give the posibility of specializations for us, perhaps the reason is the political instability of our country and the corruption that has flourished. during this period I work like general practitioner in a clinic, where I am responsible for 2200 habitants; I have published a book in albanian, translated from english, with copyright, entitled ” Firs Aid” ;and have earned 61 credits AMA PRA in CME ONLINE courses offerd from Harvard Medical School in internal medicine and primary care medicine.
    I am intrested in a scholarship in Cardiology, Neurology, Emergency Medicine, Endocrinology or Internal medicine but not surgery.
