As my third reflection assignment, I wanted to share another story that I remembered when I'm in the lectures and also suggest one more course content for the future students.

GLOBAL HEALTH MINOR
In this minor, we have learned a lot about different topics under global health.
In this case, there are times when some patients do not want to see a psychiatrist and cannot find a solution to their complaints.
One of the lectures reminded me how much mental health affects physical health as well.
And as we saw in the Mental Health lecture, this is not articulated openly in every culture or community.
In my profession, patients sometimes experience loss of hearing or balance due to mental health problems.
It would be useful to plan the right approach by discovering what the needs of the people we are in contact with in the course content and how sensitive they actually are due to the discomfort they experience.
WHAT WOULD'VE BEEN GOOD TO LEARN ALSO?
Almost all of us are in direct contact with people in our professions. Sometimes we can focus too much on what we think the patient needs and not pay enough attention to our approach to the patient.
