We learn the culture, see the differences and similarities, the internship also gave access to things that we normally can?t do in States. It?s a unique opportunity that we have already friends and its cool to visit them back and make connections.? James Zapata (Clinical Intern)

I also can?t believe we?ll be back on Tuesday.? Dr. Wenda Billock (Associate Professor in Biology)
