Recommendation on a personal note
Hi, my name is Dr. Iris Salomon Har Even, I am a veterinarian in the north of the country. I graduated 20 years ago at the University of Kosice, Slovakia.
My journey began in India, in 1995, where I decided that one of my goals in life was to help animals, to learn Veterinary medicine.
Shortly thereafter, I enrolled in Italian studies to prepare myself for studies in Italy.
My uncle, Moshe Hadar, a Holocaust survivor from Slovakia, convinced me to aim for studies in Slovakia, partly because the studies are in English.
In 1997, I began studying at this wonderful university, which opened its doors to international studies In the English language.
Many of us came from Israel and other countries in the world.
From the first moment we were surrounded by a Slovak team that took care of everything we needed, both in terms of studies and in terms of life in Kosice, Slovakia. The team included management personnel and lecturers from the various departments.
The choice to study there, turned out a short time later, to be a perfect choice.
6 years of practical studies, from the very beginning, with in-depth study and full experience in the medicine of pets, horses, poultry, farm animals and wild animals. Beyond studies, we didn't miss skiing and snowboarding, classes at an amazing level, yoga with the best teachers in Europe, trekking almost every weekend, horseback riding, forays into European countries, fun spending time on holidays, at special events and in general in the lively city.
When I finished in Košice, I continued to guide trips In Europe and to this day I am an official instructor in Slovakia, so I continue to be in Slovakia many times a year. Slovakia is my second home.
My veterinary colleagues, with whom I am still in a warm and close relationship, stand out throughout the country in various fields, from clinical medicine of pets, livestock, horses, poultry, Authority medicine, laboratory doctors, etc.
Throughout the years I have kept in touch with the lecturers and the university and in 2017, during the 25th anniversary celebrations of the international program for foreign students, I was a partner in organizing the event.
I am available for any questions or concerns.
Yours,
Iris 052-3827627
