Refugee Health in Germany
My Travel Story
My name is Pablo Nic Lasso, I was born in Cd. Juarez Mexico, I want to study abroad in Heidelberg Germany during the Academic year of 2018-2019. I am currently working for a bachelor's degree in Population Health, I am interested in becoming a physician, however, I plan on working in rural/tropical communities aiding in health development. I am in my sophomore year at the University of New Mexico studying Population Health. I work under a doctor in the department performing research exploring on non-invasive preventive community projects in Native American populations here in New Mexico.
Germany stands within the leading industrialized countries with most hosted refugees, and I have discussed with some of my professors from the college of population health about how I can form part of initiatives and projects that deal with migrant physical and mental health in refugees, and hold interviews discovering how migration takes a toll on health determinants and outcomes. My professors have been very willing to help me find faculty in the University of Heidelberg and I have become very excited to see how different methods change in other parts of the world, especially regarding cultural sensitivity.
Ultimately, I have a desire to understand how humans live in other parts of the world, what kind of art they make, what food they eat, what they talk and laugh about, so that I can absorb all of this to grow into a person with diverse appreciations.
