This visit was very exciting in the beginning, ended up with a mixed bag of experiences. I participated in PhD thesis nailing, thesis defense, acted as an internal examiner for the master students, presented in India-specific seminar on my research studies from India, took guest lecture sessions for the global masters’ students on health systems, health policy.
I also took this opportunity to interact with faculties and colleagues in the department. On the other hand, I felt selecting the right course could be crucial and a deeper understanding of the course curriculum in advance would be useful for prospective exchange students. I somehow felt my learning out of these dimensions of visit were far more diverse and enriching than learning out of the specific module.
