Three first year medical students from the Larner College of Medicine at UVM and one fourth year medical student from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine were selected to visit. Cultural immersion began on arrival to Thailand with Dr. Scholand leading the student group to the Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute snake farm in Bangkok. Here, we witnessed the process of making anti-venom as a treatment for snake bites – saving countless lives and limbs. Then, language lessons were reviewed with a local guide who also helped showcase some of the wonders of Thailand as our group strived to overcome jet lag. Subsequently, upon our arrival to Walailak, the International Office welcomed us with a tour of an authentic Thai street market, a sacred temple area (Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan) and a delicious lunch with traditional Thai foods. It was a very warm welcome and overall wonderful experience. Then, after almost a week of adaptation and equilibration to Thailand – our group embarked upon a carefully planned, in depth medical educational experience. Dr Lunla, the medical student education coordinator, gave a tour of the University, including the newly finished 700 bed hospital and facilities. An academic overview of the rotation was provided - with help from supporting faculty as well, including Dr. Prym Mordmuang, Dr. Frank (Chaiwat Rerkswattavorn) and others. Our medical students were matched with Thai medical students on a one-one basis, forming close bonds early on in the rotation – a major help with adaptation 10,000 miles from home. So far, the rotation seems off to a fantastic start, with robust bidirectional learning opportunities ongoing. We look forward to strengthening our partnership with Walailak and our Thai medical colleagues, as we promote Global Health education far into the future.
