Sawasdee (Hello in Thai)!
Welcome to our blog! Soon, I join 8 students from the University of New England College of Pharmacy in Bangkok, Thailand to begin an International Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE). This experience explores the concepts of
global health as well as contemporary health issues in Thailand. Through lectures and
experiential learning, students will learn about unique topics such social and environmental
healthcare in the tropics, traditional and alternative medicine, border health and care of
displaced persons, as well as clinical diseases in the tropics such as tuberculosis, avian flu,
leprosy, dengue fever, malaria, and HIV/AIDS.
Students will travel throughout Thailand visiting a variety of healthcare settings, including large
urban hospitals, research laboratories, refugee camps, hospices, orphanages, rural clinics,
government public health facilities and non-governmental organizations that work diligently
to improve the health of the Thai people and boarding populations. Culture highlights
include the Grand Palace, Chiang Mai Night Bazaar, a cooking class, temples, beaches, Koh Samet Island, and
much more!
This will be my 10th trip to Thailand and I'm thrilled to share this experience with our students Desiree, Casey, A.J., Ian, Purvi, Maddie, Sara and Natalie, as well as my co-preceptors/colleagues Dr. Hailey Choi and Dr. Ryan Warren (COP Class of 2015). I encourage you to read our blog frequently over the next month as our students travel on an incredible journey throughout Thailand. Students will be posting almost daily, so join us on this journey in the amazing "Land of Smiles"!
Warm regards,
Dr. Krebs
