"Interning abroad is easily one of the best decisions I have ever made. 作为一个生物学家 sciences major, I was offered to intern at the Irish Heart Foundation, where I cultivated 与专门的医疗保健协调员建立终身关系.  我不仅做了 personal connections with the people I worked with, but I was able to experience a 我以前从未接触过的医疗保健的另一面.  我意识到有多少工作 really goes into patient care after hospital discharge, and I have a new appreciation 对于像他们这样的组织.  我相信有了更深的了解的各种 formats of patient care will help me to better treat my future patients, working as 医师助理.  如果再给我一次机会，我不会这样做 犹豫着说“是”!——麦迪逊·特拉罕
