On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine – home to my friends, my family, my ancestors. On this same day, I interviewed for RCSI’s Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) Programme. Unlike most of the diaspora in Canada who watched reports of the invasion live, I had gone to bed early on the night of the invasion in preparation for my interview. On February 24, I awoke to the news of Russia’s genocidal attack. Instead of the last-minute preparations I had planned, I read the news in horror. I cried. I interviewed with RCSI. Then, I went to work.
