Learning with the MDT team...

One of the most enjoyable experiences whilst on this exchange was learning through an interdisciplinary style. There were physiotherapists, nurses from Norway , Germany, Philippines and Cameroon, radiographers, microbiologists, occupational therapists session. Each role had a session to describe their responsibility in the healthcare system, how an individual could work as one in Denmark and what it involved. Each day was filled with many activities and scenarios where we had to create solutions to the problems from each perspective.  For instance, my first lesson was about the radiographers. Here they had described what radiologists were, what it involved and what students learn. There was also a presentation by students from Italy describing what radiologists was like from their country. On this same day, we had the opportunity to try out different machines such as CT scans and Ultrasound.
By having these sessions, it had developed my knowledge of the other healthcare team and had enhanced my respect for them. It had also opened my mind to the different ways of treating a patient. It was a great way of sharing knowledge, experience and meeting new people.
