Hello World!

This is our first blog and video, so take it easy on us. We have landed in Germany and our first day here was a Sunday. We just got settled into the Bergerstube and then all went out for a little cultural experience. We went to a local pub to watch the World Cup soccer match of Germany against Australia. Germany won 4-0! Following the match the younger residents of the city drove around with flags on their cars, honking horns and blowing the African Vuvuzelas.

Monday was our first day and was just an introduction by Josh and Nic, our preceptors, to our rotation in Velbert, Germany.

Tuesday we went to the Niederberg Klinikum, the local 500 bed hospital that serves the area around Velbert. We were welcomed by the CEO of the hospital and were led on a tour to see all the various departments and talked with many hospital workers. We will be going back there next week to participate in rounds.

On Wednesday we toured Josh and Nic's pharmacy, the Adler Apotheke, and were introduced to the staff there. In the afternoon on Wednesday we had a meeting with Dr. Fruesken, a leading Physician in the field of Geriatric Medicine, and discussed the board certification Process in Germany and America.

On Thursday we went to the International School of Business on the Dortmund University. We had a discussion concerning our combined Pharm/MBA compared with their Phama MBA with the department head of the health science business management school. After we took a few hours and experienced Koln and went to the Koln Cathedral or Dom. It is a beautiful gothic style church that was started being built in the year 1248. We got an amazing tour from Nic who is extremely knowledgeable on the cathedral. Afterwards we climbed the 533 steps to the cathedral's bell tower. The view was amazing!!! That was our first week in a nutshell.

This weekend we all go to Amsterdam to have fun and have a break from our jam packed first week.

Yours Truly,

Auf Wiedersehen!!!


For those of you who would like, we have also prepared a video blog of just one cultural experience that we have taken part in from our program so far in Germany.

I approve with a piece of Llanet's theory. Except everything is not cool for this. Everyone is waiting nice possibilities except no upshot.

You can do more with a kind word and a gun than with just a kind word.

Excellent Website! I needed to ask if I might be able to website some of your net page and use a couple of points for a time period paper. Please drop me an e-mail if its okay or not. Thanks

I don't agree in all parts of your argumentation, but overall it's a real insight article with lots of meaningful thoughts. Regards, Frank
