| Student presenting to the class on a medication. |
2/16/18
We started out the day with a student presentation on a
medication they will have access to when they go back to Burma. One student
presentation everyday. They do amazingly well talking in front of the group
compared to past classes or even western college students. Then the lecture continued with
Genitals and STD’s. This subject is taking longer than we planned but so very
important as Burma is exploding with more sexual exploitation and sexually
transmitted diseases due to it opening up to outsiders a few years ago. An influx
of western tourist with lots of money has increased the risk of related
dangers.

Overall this group is doing extremely well. We are starting
to focus more on problem-solving rather than just learning book knowledge. For
example, this morning the book recommended a particular antibiotic but it is
not one they will have in their medical kits. They were asked to figure out
what would be a comparable medication that they will have in their kits. It
took a few minutes but they arrived at the correct answer! This indicates they
are starting to put it together and we will continue this focus for the rest of
the program.

| Taking the quiz |
In the afternoon was the Friday quiz. This is not just to
test the knowledge level but used as an additional teaching tool. All the
questions are reviewed right after the test. The audience response system is
used to instantly show all the students answers on the projector. This leads to
some great heated discussions about why students picked the answer they did. This
fosters a deeper understanding of the material and critical thinking skills.
