Global Scholars initial blog post!
Final Post
I am interested in exploring how desensitized some practitioners become in medicine and how that affects treatment and the emotional state of practitioners. I do not know too much, but from my year and a half of experience in medicine, as a medical assistant for a surgeon, I have started to see how sometimes IContinue reading “Final Post”
Stories In The Media
One issue that has really hot and stuck me like most political issues is the ruling of Roe vs Wade. Rather than most women banding to protect our own rights I have seen almost this battle over social media of competing views. It hurts to see this in our community and I think most peopleContinue reading “Stories In The Media”
Capping Off My Summer
My area of interest was, in broad terms, learning more about how emergency management works within a community or a region.

This Summer, I interned at the International Rescue Committee, where I learned extensively aboutContinue reading “Summary of My Capstone”
Cool Summer Experience (not clickbait)
This summer has been interesting to say the least. One of the best and worst parts about it is that I am able to be at home all the time. There is no need to learn a new language or find housing, but I also have to deal with my parents and their schedule allContinue reading “Cool Summer Experience (not clickbait)”
Farwell Post
My experiences this summer have shaped my perspective on public health within different communities around the country. My first experience centered around the pandemic affecting the farmworker communities and how we need to have better regulations to ensure they do not get this involved in the next pandemic. The interviews I conducted helped show meContinue reading “Farwell Post”
