As Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumni, we know it카지노 게임 컬렉션s often the lessons learned outside the classroom (and sometimes even on the other side of the world!) that make the biggest difference.
Just ask Eve Purdy.
Eve is a fourth-year Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s medical student currently in Tanzania at a community health clinic founded by Dr. Karen Yeates, who is co-director of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s School of Medicine카지노 게임 컬렉션s Office of Global Health along with Dr. Jenn Carpenter. Eve is spending three weeks caring for patients in the clinic, which started with a focus on empowering women through health, but now cares for families as well. Travelling to rural villages as part of a medical outreach team, she카지노 게임 컬렉션s promoting health and wellness to patients at the clinic and in rural communities who, in many cases, have never been seen by a physician.
Pandemics and disease appear all around us today, and we understand now more than ever the growing importance of a global perspective on critical health issues. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s offers this perspective to the next generation of health leaders like Eve and her colleagues.
In the last four years alone, close to 100 Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students have learned firsthand what it카지노 게임 컬렉션s like to practice medicine in a different culture, with scarce resources.
Medical student Amy Chen travelled to Tanzania in 2012. A Chinese-Canadian with a goal of becoming a family doctor, Amy wanted to learn how to adapt best practices to local beliefs and customs.
Amy helped to teach a group of Maasai women how to prevent skin irritation in their newborn babies, who are traditionally rubbed with oil rather than bathed in their first month of life. Amy suggested that they use a cloth to wipe the babies clean and keep the folds of skin dry and free of oil. The women, in turn, shared the practice with other new mothers in neighbouring villages.
Learning how to listen respectfully and adapt to new and unique situations makes Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students better doctors, explains Dr. Yeates. In fact, 카지노 게임 컬렉션it makes them better humans.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Since returning home, Amy has applied the lessons she learned abroad to benefit Canadians in aboriginal and low-income communities. She is also very involved in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s MedExplore program, helping to expose local, underprivileged high school students to careers in the medical field. Learning experiences like these change lives 카지노 게임 컬렉션 but one-of-a-kind opportunities like the Tanzania global health elective can카지노 게임 컬렉션t happen without your support. I카지노 게임 컬렉션m writing to ask you to help keep Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s spirit of initiative alive with a monthly gift today to the Queen's Fund.
Supporting Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students as they become doctors is just one of the ways your gift to the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Fund can help. Your donation today can also help create a supportive environment for students on campus, and attract outstanding faculty like Dr. Yeates, who inspire and serve as positive role models.
When alumni come together to support the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Fund, we can, quite literally, change lives. And when we support students like Eve and Amy, working on behalf of poor and often marginalized families in Tanzania and other parts of the world, we카지노 게임 컬렉션re very likely saving lives, too 카지노 게임 컬렉션 both abroad and at home.
I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve already made my gift to help Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s students learn and discover, think and do. I hope you카지노 게임 컬렉션ll join me today. Cha Gheill!
