Following graduation, I completed my medical school applications and, with a day or two to spare, I boarded a plane bound for China for a second time—this time with a distinctly medical focus. I was to participate in a program sponsored by the Yunnan Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital in Kunming, attending lectures on TCM and the Chinese health-care system, shadowing doctors at the hospital, and exploring the rural parts of Yunnan province on a day excursion.
While in the small city of Shaaxi, I learned another valuable lesson about the importance of culture in medicine while speaking to a doctor at the local hospital. I was asking him about TCM and he spoke highly of it, as most in China will do since it carries a tremendous cultural legacy there, and he mentioned they had a TCM department there at the hospital. As it turns out, most of the local population elects to see their traditional Bai ethnic herbalist, who utilizes TCM as well as the traditional herbs of the local Bai minority population.
Now why would this be, I thought? Lesson number five had presented itself: not only is culture important in our understandings of health and healing, but it also plays a large role in the trust between the healer and the to-be-healed, and this is something we need to practice.
Short abstract
My first year of medical school came and went, flying by through a flurry of anatomy and molecular biology gradually filling my brain in many long nights at my desk, pushing out memories of Chinese history and philosophical principles gained from reading Dostoevsky in college. I found myself looking to the future to my planned adventure to Southeast Asia with seven of my classmates and kept myself inspired through a smattering of volunteer activities, the occasional visit to the hospital or clinic, or powerful presentations from patients afflicted by a rare disease or cancer that helped ground me and my classmates in the humanity of medicine.
In preparation for our trips, my classmates and I spent a number of lunch periods engaging in reflection and discussion on the value of medical service work abroad. At first, I had a hard time wrapping my mind around what this meant, and in retrospect, now I realize I could not ever truly obtain a good understanding of this until after our trip. My hope is that with these stories, readers can come to recognize the value of studying culture in the medical context and encouraging curiosity among our providers-in-training.
Cultural traditions often carry many burdens but let those not block out our appreciation for the value that lies within an understanding of culture in medicine, the trust between provider and patient, and the lifelong impact of building relationships with those from radically different walks of life in solidarity. My being able to partake in these experiences would not have been possible without the support of my family, the Magnus the Good Collaborative Fellowship award for — through St.
Olaf College and the Fjeldstad family, and the many others who supported our trips to China and Vietnam. I would also like to thank Drs Ka Wong and Brent Bauer for their mentorship on these projects as well as all of my other teachers—both formal and in the Confucian sense—from the United States to China and Vietnam. National Center for Biotechnology Information , U. The first month I had two host brothers from Japan and it was nice to hear about their culture. The rest of the time in Australia I had no host brothers what was sometimes boring but all over not to bad.
The best thing I did while I was in Australia was the trip in the outback for Biodiversity because nature is singularly and something special.

For every person who is too shy, scared or not sure about going to Australia just do it! It will be the best time of your life and you will like it. Not necessarily school related knowledge, but mostly new ways to live and to see the world around me. I would suggest this experience to anybody that is very open-minded, and ready to something very different. Thanks for everything and I hope to come back one day. Kathrin is an exchange student from Frankfurt Germany. She came to Australia, out of all places, because to her Australia is the most exciting and could provide her with the best experiences.
When we asked her what her favourite thing about Australia was, straight away, she said the many friends she has made. She enjoys the ASMS because it is a self-directed learning environment; however, the hardest thing here has been to re-learn everything she has already learnt.

Her hobbies include dancing and listening to music. Kathrin has made many friends here. She might be departing at the end of this term, however when she does leave the ASMS people are sure to miss her! Studying abroad was always my dream when I was a little child because I wanted to experience different cultures in the world.
At the age of 16, I was so fortunate to come to South Australia to do my high school with the support of my parents. When I first came to here, the friendly and passionate IES [International Education Services] teachers and homestay family made me feel like coming home. My homestay family were a very nice and kind couple.
They helped me settled down in this beautiful city. I did not feel homesick in this charming city. My study in Adelaide is also an unforgettable journey.
The Psychological Effects of the Vietnam War
Australian Science and Mathematics School is an outstanding school. The teachers there are patient and professional. They helped me change my mind about learning and life. Study in Australia is completely different from the study in China. I can do what I want to do. For example, I can choose the subjects according to my own hobby.
I think this is the most important fact that leads me to high achievement. The creativity is also the thing that teachers encourage us to develop. Creativity is more vital than knowledge in modern society. I think the students in Australia are all-sided developed people. I love this city-Adelaide. It has an amazing natural environment, and everyone comes to here will be attracted.
It also has a multicultural social environment. The mixture of western and eastern culture can make everyone get to love this city. The two years in Adelaide was meaningful for me. Thank you, Adelaide. Thank you, everyone, in Adelaide.

Since the age of five, I have loved to play the piano and to go horse riding. During my school time, my passion for Science and Mathematics had grown steadily. As a result, I participated in some German Maths competitions. That is to say, this school would most benefit my further studies. With this in mind, I started researching the school a bit and my organisation gave me a contact who had been attending school the year before I got there.
What shall I say, undoubtedly, this school was just simply the best thing that could have happened to me. Furthermore, the help I received during my year 12 studies was incredible. It has most likely been the best time of my life so far and I wanna thank all of the staff who turned this exchange year into such an awesome experience. My name is Stefan, I am 17 years old and from Germany.
I stayed at the ASMS for the last 12 month probably the most interesting 12 months of my life so far. When you first come to the school everything is new to you and you try to understand what is going on then you settle in and feel like home and when it is time to leave you to look forward to seeing your friends and family again back home.
I can certainly recommend the ASMS to other students who are interested in sciences and would like to work more independently. My name is Yeekyeong Kwon. I am from Daegu, South Korea. One thing special about me is my previous schooling. I have been around the world for my study.
I studied in Korea for nearly nine years and one and a half years in Oxford, England.
How I Learned to Be a Better Doctor From My Wife’s Struggle With Alzheimer’s
This has always been a special and valuable experience for me, which gives me not only special relationships with other international students but also the eyes that I can take a broader perspective on the world. The reason for coming to Adelaide is that I was strongly attracted to the ASMS by its way of teaching students and leading them. I have been always interested in areas of mathematics and science and I believe the education system that the Australian Science and Mathematics School provides would be good assistance for my future studies and career in science areas.
I have also heard a lot about Australia, especially the city of Adelaide, from my aunt who used to live in Adelaide for a few years. It is such a beautiful, quiet and calm city which is very good for living and studying here. It has a beautiful environment and nature, special culture and friendly people. Its landscape is so magnificent that I find myself loving looking around and visiting many places.
I also love people here, including my host family who always welcomes me like family. The people I meet here always smile and are delightful to international students and help us a lot. On the other hand, the hardest thing about living in Australia is the cultural difference. Another thing might be homesickness. Although it has been a long period that I have been living apart from my family, I still find it hard to be alone. Luckily, I am quite adaptive and I got used to living in Australia very quickly because I knew that homesickness is one thing I have to get over.
The schooling system in Australia is very different from the education I have had previously. First of all, the timetable and subject choices are different.
International Student Reflections
We do many research projects and assignments which are very different from the work I did in Korea, which I believe will be helpful for my studies at university in the future. We also learn to be self-motivated and organised because we have to set your own learning plans and manage our own time efficiently. In the early years of our marriage, she was a sort of buffer between my exacting persona and the world, but over time, I slowly learned to take my cues from her, and engage more softly and constructively with the people in my life.
Caring means both worrying and actively doing something about those worries. It means learning how to take care of ourselves and our local worlds. Caregiving for the frail elderly, vulnerable children, the infirm and chronically disabled involves providing physical acts of help bathing, feeding, exercising, sometimes just getting from one place to another , emotional insight and support, and moral solidarity.
