医学院学生凯莱布·费尔巴哈(费尔巴哈迦勒)依靠毅力和谷歌Maps,找到了一个理想的地方,进行为期一个月的精神病学轮转。
诺顿健康公司 in Nome, Alaska, isn’t easy to spot from the lower 48. 但这对费尔巴哈来说是一块磁铁,他一直梦想着看到世界上更遥远的地区。
他的简历上已经有三次在更容易到达的地点进行精神科轮转,他在2023年初决定是时候走得更远了。
“I just started clicking on hospitals that showed up on Google Maps in remote areas of Alaska,” he said. 他找到了诺姆的诺顿之声,打开网站,发现他们已经和杜兰大学建立了一个医科学生轮岗项目。 网站上有该项目联系人的姓名和电话号码。 他拿起电话打了过去。
“The man said, ‘We’re having a Zoom meeting tomorrow with applicants from Tulane. 想加入吗?’ And I did.”
6月23日,他走下飞机,进入了另一个世界。 头两个星期,太阳从未落下。
“The culture is rooted in subsistence hunting,” he said. “The people are all super nice and friendly. They were always inviting me into their homes.” 他花了很多空闲时间在苔原和山区探险和观光。
他也遇到了职业上的挑战。
“According to the CDC, the suicide rate in Alaska is about 1.5 times that of Missouri,” Feuerbacher said. “I don’t think the issue is as simple as remoteness or weather. There’s been a lot of challenges for Native Americans and Alaska Natives with European colonists from the very beginning. Many challenges continue to exist today.”
他的想法不仅仅受到阿拉斯加一个月的影响。 他早些时候在一个离堪萨斯城更近的地方轮岗,但几乎同样遥远:堪萨斯州白云市,人口115人,在堪萨斯州和内布拉斯加州的爱荷华部落保留地,他在那里处理了类似的问题。
“I think it is really important for medical students, or really anyone, to learn more about native Americans and Alaska natives, to see things from their perspective.”
“I really like the extremities of the world. 我喜欢探索世界上很少有人见过的东西,看看别人是如何生活的。 I want to experience other cultures, other lifestyles.” —
What’s next for Feuerbacher? He will spend the 2023-2024 academic year at Harvard pursuing a master’s degree in public health, then return to 威尼斯人娱乐城 for the final year of medical school. 然后是住院医生,最后是精神科医生。
至于会是什么情况,还有待观察。 阿拉斯加的乌特基亚维克(原巴罗)是地球上最北端的城镇之一,在他的遗愿清单上。 He’s also eager to visit U.S. territories in the Pacific, such as Guam and the Northern Marianas.
“I really like the extremities of the world,” Feuerbacher said. “我喜欢探索世界上很少有人见过的东西,看看别人是如何生活的。 I want to experience other cultures, other lifestyles.”
“I think it’s really important to see how medicine is practiced in different areas of the United States,” he added. “I believe it helps you understand on a deeper level the issues you’ll be dealing with in your practice.”
