Other Qualifications:

This Knowledge and my medical background put me in a unique position as an Englinsh instructor. The origin of Modern German is the same. Many words in Modern English, particularly in Literature and science, are derived from latin and Greek roots. I have knowledge of Cambodian history and culture and Buddhism.

My medical Knowledge is up to date because of the preparation I do for teaching and clinical practice. Having been here for five years I’m familiar with some of the specific medical problems in Cambodia. I have a clinical approach and diagnostic skills that allow me to make diagnoses without excessive reliance on outside technical modalities or consultants. I am efficient and patients trust my judgment and expertise.
