Edith Bardet
Edith Bardet – Student of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW)I grew up surrounded by animals, and they have always been an important part of my life. I want to contribute to improving their health and welfare, which is why choosing this profession came naturally to me. Receiving a scholarship from the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe and MSD Animal Health is a true honour. I am grateful to everyone who has supported me, including professors who share their knowledge, values, and passion for veterinary medicine. This field requires perseverance and continuous development, which is why it is so important to keep striving higher. In the future, I would like to be involved in the development of modern treatment methods and techniques in order to help horses more effectively and to raise standards of care.
