Blackboard Introductions
“I expect to gain knowledge, expertise, and a deeper appreciation to truly understand medicine within my culture and society, along with the social determinants of health, then apply these skills across cultures.” “I expect to gain a panoramic view of medicine through the lens of behavior and society. That is to say, I expect to see the “big picture” of the current state of population health”. “I hope to learn more about the specific health needs of the Rio Grande Valley. I grew up in east Texas…... I have never been this far south and I feel that my knowledge of this area and the unique health care system here is inadequate”. “I expect to gain an understanding of how to be the best physician I can be, which includes meeting the needs of my patients and overall community. I expect to learn about the community values and culture in the Rio Grande Valley, but I hope the knowledge we gain will transcend to any community setting”.
