I feel that this program has a lot to offer but even more to build upon my training. I feel that this experience will teach me how to deal with situations in a completely different environment than with my ski patrol training. Rather than being on a ski mountain during the winter and having the utilities to deal with a medical situation such as a backboard and splints, this trip will hopefully train me to become a better responder in medical situations. I also hope to gain a greater sense of leadership and confidence. The trip its self will broaden my horizons and teach me the culture of another country.
