The Global Health training site in southern Thailand at Walailak University<br />
(WU) has been reinvigorated. Key to these developments has been the help<br />
and support of the Centers for International Affairs at WU. Instrumental in the<br />
operations ‘behind the scenes’ is Fareenah Jehsani – our point person for all of<br />
the logistics and management of the rotation for our learners.<br />
Fareenah obtained her University degree with honors from Utara University in<br />
Malaysia. Her work experience includes time spent at the Royal Thai Embassy,<br />
as well as an officer of the Islamic bank of Thailand. In addition, she’s the wife<br />
of a loving husband and mother of three precious children.<br />
Dr. Dilyara Nurkhametova, Assistant Director of the Nuvance Health/UVMLCOM<br />
Global Health Program, reported “we are immensely grateful for Fareenah’s help<br />
and support. She played a pivotal role in providing essential guidance during<br />
the critical initial stages of re-starting the Global Health Elective in Thailand.<br />
Working with Fareenah has been a great pleasure, and we are looking forward<br />
to further productive collaborations.”<br />
Indeed, upon our group’s arrival in southern Thailand, Fareenah met us at the<br />
airport – with other WU staff. We were treated to a wonderful reception lunch<br />
and a cultural tour of Nakhon Si Thammarat. Always with a smile, we got to<br />
experience firsthand Fareenah’s compassionate and caring personality. Even<br />
now, she continues to help coordinate our medical students’ experiences with<br />
critical support for our learners, 10,000 miles away from home.<br />
Thank you so much Fareenah!<br />
