You find yourself in a strange situation. You've left your home and country and yet you feel like you fit in your adopted country, almost as if you've been here before. And the empathy you acquire about yourself, and those around you is articulated in your compassion to your patients, and in the beauty of your words. And it leaves deep and profound impressions. This week we interview a pediatrician and poet from Virginia who traveled to the Dominican Republic as a Fulbright Scholar.
22.33 Podcast Club will be on Tuesday September 22nd at 5:00 PM.
The deadline to register is September 22nd by 12:00 PM. Before the session you'll receive an email with the link to the online meeting.
