Just a real quick post to let you know that yes, i'm still alive!
Sunday was an awesome day that I volunteered at International Day as a DIS ambassador.  It was a lot of fun because I got to talk to Danes of all ages and try to recruit them to participate as host families, visiting families, and to be part of the DIS Buddy Network.   I basically loved talking to the Danes, and they truly are so curious about Americans and our culture.

Monday and today consisted of our study tour, where we traveled from Copenhagen to Svendborg, and today we went to Ribe.  This whole study tour thing is such an awesome experience because we spend time in clinics, hospitals, and private practices throughout Denmark and talk to doctors about their specific job and the medical policy processes with respect to their specialties.  In addition, we get to meet patients and talk to them, and then get a whole new (and extremely honest) perspective of what it's like to be a doctor (or doctor-in-training) in Denmark.  I'll add pictures and elaborate more tomorrow night, just wanted to give a brief overview!

til imorgen!
