As we are ending this rotation I am incredibly thankful to have had the opportunity to travel to Thailand for this experience. We were able to see and interact with so many different health providers each contributing to Thailand's larger health system as they promote their citizen's health and well being. One major component that I will definitely take away from this rotation is having a better knowledge of different types of tropical diseases and how to best care for a patient who presents with one.
Additionally, even though there are many similarities between the health systems of the U.S. and Thailand, there are also many differences between them. One of which being that Thai pharmacists seem to be much more involved in their health system than those of the U.S. They played many different roles and had different patient care responsibilities depending on their units, each with a commitment to helping better the lives of others!
Thank you to everyone for making this such a great trip!
