Our Student Interns

Dr. Donna says that Medconsult was first approached by Justin a medical student from Cornell in 2010 for a summer internship.  Of course Justin wanted to gain experience with patients and he was clearly fascinated by the process of diagnosis, investigation and treatment. We quickly realized he was very helpful with computers and for a small monthly fee of compensation, he could help us update our computer programs, load faceboook on our website, summarise and update our patient database on the electronic medical record system. He was also able  to do useful jobs such as  surveying patients helping with medicine collection and report collection for patients. He was very interested in our work with immigrants on the Thai/Burmese border with the Kwai Christian Hospital and helped us with stock checks before we delivered the medicine to Sangkhlaburi.

With this in mind we have since had a steady flow of students from Bangkok Patana School, American School of Bangkok, KIS International School and currently we have Dutch intern Maria.

Jan Houben’s  from Avans University in South of Holland has a full-time job in sending students on placements overseas. This year he has sent us Maria Joukovitch to work with us for 6 months. She   has had previous work experience and has really taken on all of our marketing, she has promote specials offers, called up patients to get feedback from existing patients which has help improve our clinic management and at the same retime through Botox special offers she increased our profit margin within one week of March.
