He noted that the call of a military doctor would bring along a special burden and require persistence in every aspect, but that the results of the entrance examination, the high grades of the older generations, and the success of the promoted sub-lieutenants have proven that the best continue the rich history of the Serbian military healthcare. He added that MMA mentors and MMA teachers would provide them full support during the studies and create strong foundations for successful careers.
