加纳的公共卫生

大家好，我是黛博拉. I am a second year graduate student in the Master of Public Health Program here at OU.

大家好，我是艾莉森·托马斯. 我目前正在学习护理.

Hi my name is Heather Davies and I'm currently  a student in a Master of Public Health Program.

Hi my name is Kayla and I'm a 公共卫生 student and we were all part of a group that traveled to 加纳 last summer for the global health and social issues study abroad course at 365英国上市官网.

I decided to study abroad in 加纳 because it sounded like a very unique opportunity to experience a beautiful and culturally rich area and learned about health care from an entirely different point of view.

The trip focus on studying within a clinical setting in different areas of 加纳 and  learning a wide scope of things and so with me becoming a nurse in the future it was right up my alley.

I decided to study abroad in 加纳 because I wanted to learn about how a health system works within a cultural and social context that's new to me and to understand its unique strengths and challenges.

We went to a few schools we worked in a hospital setting alongside doctors medical, 专业人士, 这是一次大开眼界的经历. I really enjoyed shadowing their community health workers with 加纳's community health planning and services program also known as chips.

The most rewarding experiences for me were the days that we got to go to local schools and interact with students from kindergarten all the way to high school-age kids and being able to talk to them, 和他们一起玩, 从他们身上学习是一种我将会珍惜很长时间的经历. 当然，这次旅行并不全是为了医疗服务. We spent time with museums and visiting cultural sites and learning about the history of 加纳 and the Ashanti Kingdom. 我们能够沉浸在加纳文化的许多方面. 我们与加纳家庭共度时光 .我们去市场购物，我们尝试了很多新的美味的食物. We visited the Kakum National Park and walked on suspended canopies amongst the treetops in the rainforest. 我们甚至去金坦波瀑布游泳. 我得说去加纳让我有点吃惊. 我以为会超级热，而且, 你知道, 我有一个关于加纳会是什么样子的故事, 加纳人会是什么样子, 气氛就像——完全不同. 我们住在不同的有游泳池的度假胜地，我们在非常棒的餐厅吃饭. One of the biggest advantages to studying abroad in 加纳 is that it provided me with the chance to become immersed in a totally different environment. 我有机会去发现新的地方, meet new people and surround myself in traditions and cultures that are entirely different than my own. This trip would be a great opportunity for any student that wants to learn more about how things like culture education and history can affect someone's health and wellbeing. I would recommend this trip to anyone that's interested in health services and social determinants of health, 不管是公共卫生, 护理, 医学预科学校, 物理或职业治疗, 运动学和更多.

我肯定会说学生应该体验出国留学. 那是我第一次出国. 我对自己有了更多的了解，作为一个人，我的信念越来越坚定. 祈祷真的让我度过了难关，我的信念在旅途中变得更加坚定. 我想说的是，我和自己的关系也变得更加牢固了. I think that everyone should consider studying abroad because the exposure to new environments and new ways of doing things definitely brought into my view of the world but also the experience and practice of being open-minded and curious was a great lesson in how to approach things that are different or don't make sense at first and that's a lesson that I think can benefit anyone, 不管你学什么.

We learned and explored so much that would benefit anyone and I think that everyone should consider studying  abroad. 如果你能问我是否愿意再来一次, 是的, I will go back to Africa all again I will do the trip from beginning to end all again. 这次旅行我交了很多不同的朋友, 认识了很多不同的人, 学到了很多文化知识, 在学业上, 就我个人而言, 这是一种全方位的体验. 我说去吧.
