WHAT WE LEARNED

Pediatric medicine is very similar to adult medicine in some areas, but totally different in others (e.g. cardiology)

Very interesting to see how different countries with different levels of resources use these in a healthcare setting

Pediatric subspecialties are very diverse

Medical training comes in different shapes and sizes across the world, each with the same results

CHALLENGES

Rounding was in German– you sometimes had to actively ask the doctors/nurses/students to translate for you

European store hours (Late open, early close)

Austrian medical students are less active in their learning (more emphasis on shadowing and discussion)

Heat wave but no A/C 
