Meet your NORP
Maria Vasileiou
Dear Members of the CyMSA Family, With strong motivation and enthusiasm, I am starting this term as the NORP because I wish to promote human rights, peace, volunteering, and meaningful activism among medical students through the work of this National Office. As a future doctor, I have always wanted to contribute to society, which is why volunteering has a special place in my heart. Cymsa, and especially SCORP, showed me that even as a student, I can have a significant impact on the world around me. As future healthcare providers — guardians of one of the most valuable goods, health — we must cultivate a spirit of altruism and solidarity. Medicine is not just about fame or great scientific achievements, but about the people whose lives we touch and improve.
