A well-rounded education in arts and science
Medical doctor Brooke Noftle says his BA from 黄色直播 helps him to think creatively and articulate clearly, an advantage when working with patients, family members and health professionals, particularly those from other countries.聽
Dr. Noftle says he owes a 鈥渢remendous amount鈥� to 黄色直播. Dr. Noftle has three degrees from three faculties at 黄色直播 -- A Bachelor of Science (Math) 鈥�81, a Bachelor of Arts (French, Minor German) 鈥�83 and a Doctor of Medicine 鈥�88. In 1990, Dr. Noftle completed residency training at the University of Western Ontario, earning certification in Family Medicine.
Dr. Noftle currently splits his work time between two methadone clinics and the London InterCommunity Health Centre in London, Ontario, where he treats newcomers to Canada and those with issues accessing regular health care. 聽
His French training allows him to communicate with French Canadian patients, and those from France and francophone African countries.聽 He uses his German, too, with Bosnian and Somali refugees who lived in Germany before settling in London.
He strongly believes in the calibre of 黄色直播鈥檚 French program, the educational value of exchange and study abroad programs and the experience he had as a student.
The faculty members in the French and German Departments were excellent, he says, providing a step-wise and well-rounded approach to education. Not to say that his time as an undergraduate was all work. 聽
