成绩单

大家好,我是黛博拉. 我是公开大学公共卫生硕士项目二年级的研究生.

Hello everyone, my name is Allison Thomas. 我目前正在学习护理.

大家好,我叫希瑟·戴维斯,目前是公共卫生硕士项目的一名学生.

大家好,我叫Kayla,我是一名公共卫生专业的学生,去年夏天我们一起去加纳参加十大菠菜台子的全球健康和社会问题海外学习课程.

我决定去加纳留学,因为这听起来像是一个非常独特的机会,可以体验一个美丽而文化丰富的地区,并从一个完全不同的角度学习医疗保健.

这次旅行的重点是在加纳不同地区的临床环境中学习,学习了很多东西,所以我将来要成为一名护士,这正合我的胃口.

我决定去加纳留学,因为我想了解卫生系统是如何在一个对我来说陌生的文化和社会背景下运作的,并了解其独特的优势和挑战.

我们去了几所学校,在一家医院和医生一起工作, 专业人士, and it was an eye-opening experience. 我真的很喜欢跟随他们的社区卫生工作者进行加纳的社区卫生规划和服务项目,也被称为芯片.

对我来说,最有意义的经历是我们去当地学校,与从幼儿园一直到高中生的学生互动,并能够与他们交谈, 和他们一起玩, and to learn from them was an experience that I will cherish for a very long time. But of course, the trip wasn't all related to health services. 我们参观了博物馆,参观了文化遗址,了解了加纳和阿散蒂王国的历史. We were able to be immersed in so many aspects of 加纳ian culture. We spent time with 加纳ian families .we went shopping at markets and we tried so many new delicious foods. 我们参观了卡库姆国家公园(Kakum National Park),在雨林树梢间的悬空树冠上漫步. We even went swimming in the Kintampo waterfall. I'll say that going to 加纳 kind of surprised me a little bit. I thought that it would be super hot and, 你知道, I had this single story of what 加纳 would be like, what 加纳ian people would be like, the atmosphere was like - and it was completely different. We stayed in different resorts with a pool, we ate at really great restaurant. 在加纳留学最大的好处之一是它让我有机会沉浸在一个完全不同的环境中. I had the opportunity to discover new places, 结识新朋友,让自己沉浸在与自己完全不同的传统和文化中. 这次旅行对于任何想要更多地了解文化教育和历史如何影响一个人的健康和幸福的学生来说都是一个很好的机会. 我会向任何对卫生服务和健康的社会决定因素感兴趣的人推荐这次旅行, 不管是公共卫生, 护理, 医学预科学校, physical or occupational therapy, 运动学和更多.

I'll definitely say that students should experience studying abroad. It was my first time going out the Country. I learned a lot about myself, my faith grew as a person. Prayer truly got me through and my faith grew stronger on the trip. I'll say that my relationship with myself grew stronger as well. 我认为每个人都应该考虑出国留学,因为接触新的环境和新的做事方式肯定会让我对世界有新的看法,而且开放和好奇的经历和实践是一个很好的教训,让我学会如何处理不同的事情,或者一开始没有意义的事情,我认为这是一个对任何人都有益的教训, 不管你学什么.

我们学到了很多,探索了很多,这对任何人都有好处,我认为每个人都应该考虑出国留学. If you can ask me if I would do it all again, 是的, 我要再去一次非洲,从头到尾再来一次. I made so many different friends from the trip, 认识了很多不同的人, learned so many things culturally, 在学业上, 就我个人而言, and it was just an all around experience. 我说去吧.
