5th-year MD student researching neuroimaging and deep learning for early detection of neurodegenerative disease, with five published works and a licensing path toward FMGE and AMC — building the case for a neurosurgery residency application.
I'm a 5th-year MD student in General Medicine at Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok — enrolled since 2021, graduating 2027. My research sits at the intersection of neurology and machine learning: I analyze MRI datasets and write literature reviews on deep learning for early detection of neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer's.
That research interest is what's pulling me toward neurosurgery specifically — I want the specialty where imaging, diagnosis, and the operating room meet. A recent coursework project on intervertebral disc disorders was my first real look at the surgical side.
Near-term, I'm preparing for the FMGE and AMC licensing exams alongside my final-year rotations.
