student center. Ong and Aytona also attended student gatherings including an international student activity in which they interacted with other international students in the university.

care facility was a bonus experience for the interns as this is not a common setting locally. They were also able to witness the delivery of services in such facility from acute, subacute, rehab and residential care.
