Today is the last day of our rotation in Thailand. Time flew by the past four weeks and I’m sad to be leaving. I’ve gained many life lessons and had many experiences that I will remember forever. Here are some of my favorite memories from this trip:
In addition to the pictures, one of my favorite parts of this trip was learning about Thai traditional medicine. Thai traditional medicine focuses on the body being out of balance which then results in a disease or ailment. I enjoyed the natural medicines course that I took in pharmacy school, so to see it be such a big part of another culture was really cool. I said many times throughout this trip that if I ever were to work in Thailand, I would work at a traditional medicine hospital.
However, I think one of my biggest takeaways from this trip and something that really stuck with me is the dedication and commitment that the pharmacists here exhibited towards their patients. Many of them work long days to get all of their work done and see hundreds of patients a day in their clinics. I know that this attitude is something I admire and I hope to emulate when I become a pharmacist.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible! I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to learn about another country’s healthcare system.
Lastly, I will finish by saying that no matter what language you speak, a smile is universal and can mean more than words do
