Her interest in skin and hair diseases began during her third year at the academy, when she actively participated in student scientific conferences and competitions.

She worked intensively on her PhD thesis, often conducting research late at night and searching for patients across the Ivano-Frankivsk region for clinical studies.
• As a result, in 2009 she successfully defended her PhD dissertation in Skin and Venereal Diseases at the Specialized Academic Council of the O.O. Bohomolets National Medical University in Kyiv. The topic of her dissertation was:
• “Modern Aspects of the Clinical and Pathogenetic Course of Atopic Dermatitis, the Psycho-Emotional State of Patients, and Methods of Pharmacological Correction.”
