It’s truly unbelievable that we are back in Bangkok one last time and leaving this beautiful country tomorrow. Words can’t describe how amazing and rewarding this experience was. Being alongside some of my closest classmates made this an unforgettable trip and APPE.
It’s hard to recount all of the amazing learning experiences we had on this trip. One that will always stick out in my head was sitting in on a physician’s leprosy clinic. We sat alongside other students from around the world and were able to see first hand what the disease presents as. Seeing patients with TB, Leprosy, Malaria, etc really helped put in prospective some of the disease states that we don’t see as much in the states. We had the opportunity to work alongside various healthcare workers and we really got to see how unique Thai healthcare is. While many aspects of pharmacy do differ such as Brand drug names and community pharmacy access, the focus in patient care remained the same.
The cultural experiences we were able to have is really what made this APPE an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you to all of my classmates, Dean Tanzer, Dr. Bose, and Dr. Copeland for sharing this experience with me! I can’t wait to come back!
