Hello, everyone! It has been the longest minute.

Guess what? I've started my clinical rotations, or 'internship,' as we call them in China. In this episode, I discuss how it all began, how things have progressed thus far, and how to navigate your clinical rotations as an international medical student.

• Familiarize yourself with Chinese medical terminology
• Make yourself visible
• Ask questions, show up, and take advantage of the one-year ride
• Above all, trust God with your journey.
