Every day they would welcome me into their home always conversing and learning about one another, showing me how she makes her traditional clothing, and giving me insight on her culture. As I sat down in their house one day, she brought out a painting that she had made for me to bring home, and that’s when I looked around at the dirt floor, no doors, no roof and thought to myself, ‘I can’t believe they still find the space to be so generous.’”
• “Watching TV” by Chloe Celniker (�ٺ���Ƶ Summer Abroad: Bhutan, “Intro to Geographic Info Systems”) — “Two Bhutanese boys watch TV in their house. They live on a potato farm in a remote valley. The eldest boy is the only one in his family who knows English.”

Doctors dive in

A �ٺ���Ƶ education extends outside the classroom with hands-on (in this case, “in-pool”) learning. Physicians in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency program at �ٺ���Ƶ Health are learning exactly what patients go through during aquatic physical therapy, and developing a better understanding of the patient experience.
