【13】Online exchange ―Sun Yat-sen University―
Hello! I’m Mio Wakasugi.
On December 8, I participate in an exchange meeting.
Normally, the 4th grade students go to a foreign country and have a training about physical therapy. However, they couldn’t do it under the influence of COVID-19. So, we did an exchange project online.
In the exchange meeting, we discussed about educational curriculum of each school, school life, and the hospital of each country. And we took about the change of school life under the influence of COVID-19.
In the Sun Yat-sen University, students of physical therapy attend some lectures from 1st grade to 3rd grade, and when they are in the 4th grade, they go to the hospital for technical intern training. After that, they take the exam to get the license of a physical therapist.
I heard that I thought something is the same and something is not. I felt deference in the curriculum by countries.
This time, due to the influence of the COVID-19, it became an online exchange meeting, but hopefully, I would like to go to the site and feel the local atmosphere live. However, when I held an exchange meeting online, I couldn't feel the local atmosphere, but at least I was able to know about the local things.
I can't predict how long the effects of the COVID-19 will last, but I hope it will end soon. Also, I want to do what I can do now in my new lifestyle and learn the best I can do now.
Thank you for reading. Written by Mio Wakasugi
