My experience with Unified for Health
The first week I got to know a little about the city and we attended the conference organized by the German Academic Exchange Service Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst, where we were invited by the Doctor. Michael Knipper, after continuing my internship as a Hospitantin at “Evangelisches Krankenhaus Hubertus” where I spent 15 days at Station 8 of Internal Medicine, my day began at 7:30 am and ended at 4:00 pm, I attended the PJ, I helped the residents with the visiting pass and every day at 2:00 pm I met with all the doctors to discuss the most relevant clinical cases, at the same time I attended classes with the PJs and used my cell phone to translate all. what they told me, learning to channel venous access, drawing blood with the new model, doing a carotid Doppler echo, interpreting tomography plates and when they asked me questions, I answered them or studied them with the resident's explanation. I also attended meetings where they explained the health model in cases of tuberculosis and pregnant women without insurance, which was entertaining because we were able to talk about the different models of each country. My experience was very nice since I was able to visit several places, the people were very kind to me, the doctors always explained things to me, they were very aware that if I did not understand they would repeat me so I could use my cell phone. phone. call and translate, I learned a lot about the German health system and above all I was able to put all my knowledge that I learned in Ecuador in the hospital where I stayed for 15 days, it was something very nice and I appreciate it for allowing me to share my culture and my knowledge in your country and program, I will be eternally grateful and if you need anything at any time do not hesitate to contact me, Ecuador will always be open to you.
