Alfatea also had the opportunity to be part of the Medical Education Student Association (HMPD) as expert staff in the field of Academic and Scientific Reasoning, as well as being a study club mentor in FK.

After being declared a graduate, Alfatea will continue his medical professional education at RSSA, and in the future aspires to become a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
