It has now been a week
since I have returned from Thailand and I think I am now finally over my jet-lag.
Our ten-day adventure had a packed itinerary filled with several temples,
markets, pharmacies and hospitals. It was an incredible experience and I learned
so much about the culture, health care and even a few Thai phrases. One of the
most memorable moments of the trip was shadowing a pharmacist during a home
visit. This pharmacist displayed so much compassion and love for his patients. The
level of professionalism and genuine care was special, it was truly a site to
see. We were also fortunate to spend a few days with some Thai pharmacy
students, they were not only friendly and sweet but they also were great hosts
and took us to the best Thai restaurants and cafes. I will definitely treasure
this experience with my fellow classmates and I look forward to visiting
Thailand again someday. Half-way across the world my energy was lifted and I
came home with a sense of urgency to do better.
Best,
Alejandra
