Sponsor: Dr. Mark Sutherland
Alana Stephens knows that she will be a part of the medical profession. This May, she will participate in the prestigious International Scholar Laureate Program Delegation on Medicine, focusing on medicine in Australia. The program will immerse her in the international world of medicine, with discussion of the political, economic and social issues facing the medical community in that country. In Melbourne and Sydney, Stephens will visit Australian hospitals, clinics and universities, where she will gain particular insight into how medical professionals administer care to Australia’s many ethnic groups. She is aware that the globalization of medicine is essential in all areas of the medical field, including research, development of new technology, and topics like universal health care. “We must develop relationships with other countries in this regard and learn from one another and work together in order to conquer the many problems facing the world today,” she added.
