Rapeepat Bang-or, Khon Kaen University

My internship experience at Keio University has been incredibly valuable to me as a pharmacy student from Khon Kaen University in Thailand. Encountering new things here has made me very happy and eager to learn. The first significant aspect was meeting the students from Keio University. Each of them was kind-hearted and considerate, assisting me in every way I needed. They also became good friends, taking me to various places in Japan and teaching me about Japanese culture and language. This experience has fostered a lasting friendship.  

Additionally, interning at various hospitals and pharmacies in Japan allowed me to see the advanced technology used in the country's medical field, which I hope to apply in Thailand. I also greatly admire Keio University's educational system, especially the division of students into different labs for research paper projects, allowing them to choose their areas of interest. This is something I would love to see implemented in the Faculty of Pharmacy in Thailand, as it not only provides hands-on lab and research experience but also fosters positive interactions within the lab environment.  

Lastly, I find this international internship exchange program to be excellent. If given the opportunity, I would love to participate again in the future. I also aspire to pursue further studies at Keio University and possibly work in Japan.
