Dr. Bogolepova (referred to below as Dr. Zinaida) is a Russian trainee who came to attend the short-term medical training program offered by Yeson Voice Center. Dr. Zinaida achieved an Otorhinolaryngology master degree at FCI Academic Research Center of ENT after graduating from ‘Tyumen State Medical Academy' and this boosted her interest in the areas of voice analysis, voice therapies, child with language disorder and so forth. Currently, she's working as an ENT doctor and a speech therapist at the clinic inside ' Bolshoy theatre' providing actors and singers with specialized voice therapies. At the same time she's working for the SJSC European Medical Centre as well. According to Dr. Zinaida she said, 'it has been my pleasure to take part in the operation sessions which I could closely observe the non-incisive Voice Feminization Surgery followed by Percutaneous Injection Laryngoplasty and Botox treatment during the training period.' Also she added, 'the injection laryngoplasty is generally performed under general anesthesia only in Russia though in Yeson it is being performed under local anesthesia with the aid of electromyogram (EMG) which in turn reduces the possibility of injuring the surgical area. It seems easy to perform the surgery that way, however, it is considered as the most difficult technique which cannot be performed without many years of experiences and high-end operation skills.' In an exchange of this medical training program, Korea's developed medical technology and servcies are expected to expand to the extend in which a wider network can be formed at the same time improving the medical standard of Korea as a result.
