Spanish trainee Patricia studied in Pediatric with a rewarding experience. She even presented a silk banner for the mentors and wrote a letter of thanks to the staff of the Hospital. Josette, the vice president of Union Française des Professionnels de Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise, had established a sound relationship with the Hospital for more than 20 years.
