The San Diego State University Minority Health and Health Disparities International Research Training program (SDSU MHIRT) is a component of the national MHIRT program funded by the National Institutes of Health. We offer international training experiences to students from health disparity backgrounds with a goal of encouraging such students to pursue careers in biomedical, clinical, and behavioral health research. The ultimate mission of the MHIRT program is for MHIRT trainee alumni, through their careers as researchers and medical professionals, to work to reduce, and eventually eliminate, healthcare disparities in the United States.

With less than half our journey remaining, I told myself to keep a positive mentality; that the cup is half full and not half empty. We still have 3 weeks to enjoy our time in Taiwan and with all the people that we’ve met here and built connections with. My research has been going extremely
