MBBS Enrichment Year 2018-19

2018-2019 Enr ichment year by Lari ssa Tsui M22 Introduct ion : I spent two semesters at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver Canada. I was blessed with the experience of exploring my intellectual interest beyond the medical field, resuming my childhood hobby and living alone off- campus. Vancouver was beautiful on sunny days and full of international delicacy beside poutine. Clas s es that I took at UBC: In the first semester, I took Film study, French, global politics and human physiology. In the second semester, I studied anthropology on topics such as eating culture and the culture of communication as well as Human physiology and anatomy. My favorite class was the human physiology as it covered the entire body system in details. Acti vi ti es out side c las s : I had a part time job at an ice cream shop and I did horse riding and went to church on the weekends. I had met many amazing people in Vancouver whom I would call family beside my own. My favorites memories with them were our hot pot gatherings and sleep overs. Acti vi ti es at the end of the year : I was blessed with a solo trip to berlin, Prague and Southern Spain after my final exams. The highlight of my trip was my hiking trip to serreva neveda which is the third largest mountain in Europe. My parents also came over and brought me to Banff national park and we went on a 3-day backcountry riding trail. Tsui Yat Yan Larissa 168
