I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be able to become completely immersed in the Thai culture and compare and contrast life here versus in the U.S. Seeing the way Thailand’s universal coverage system works was very rewarding as it allowed me to see the pros and cons of a very different approach to healthcare, how barriers are overcome, and the access patients have to healthcare professionals. Although the system is very different, it was humbling to see the length some healthcare providers go to ensure safe and efficacious care to their patients.
Throughout all of our site visits we were able to experience first hand how accommodating and hospitable the people of Thailand are, not only to their patients, but to our large group of American students and faculty as well. I will deeply miss Thailand and it is safe to say I will absolutely be coming back to this amazing country!
