Real World Patient Experience

This past summer, two medical students, Tim & Chaplin from Hong Kong, visited CSC for several weeks to immerse themselves in the real-world patient care experience. Here's what they shared:

"We really enjoyed our experience at CSC. I'll be honest, we didn't know what to expect in Cambodia, but after our experience there, we were totally blown away. Not only was it amazing to witness and help out in surgeries and clinics; I think what truly made our time great was the people at CSC,  from the foreign medical students to the local residents and surgeons. Tim and I learned so much from them, and it was incredibly rewarding to apply what we've learned in medical school to real life, seeing how we can make a real difference in patients' lives."
