Educating Tomorrow’s Global Health LeadersTTogetherhis course helped meto improve my clinicalreasoning, and to appreciate how hardI have been working to satisfy my clients, butit also helped me to see and analyze why somecases do take a long time. This is not due to lackof materials/equipment that we [always list first as apriority need] but a lack of thinking about why our clientsbehave/present the way they do.It also helped me to analyze myself and seehow much I only deal with symptoms and notthe patient as a whole, and do not include thefamily during my therapy. By doing this I givemyself a hard time and [there is no carryoverof therapy] during the time the client is athome. For this I decided to include parentsin my goal settings so that we can worktogether and team up for good results.- Inès Musabyemariya (Wyss Scholar)Kigali, Rwanda9
