Eshiemokhai Michael, Canada (Linköping Universitet - EHESS – 2006-2008)
Present position: PhD Candidate in Public Health at Universite de Montreal, Canada
"My general experience was very positive and stimulating because of the diverse group of students from different background and culture. It is very interesting to feel this way in a small programme rich in high academic standards and cultural diversity. Also, certain moments in the course of the programme thought me how to appreciate the essence of human existence as evidenced in the loss of a colleague in 2008. This particular event has led me to venture into an area of research I had always thought I was never going to do. In the same vein, the ability and opportunity to interact with EU officials and students in other programmes through the Erasmus Mundus student association were also remarkable moments I will forever cherish. Above all, being able to mix with local students from Evora, Linkoping, Paris and Barcelona made the programme and experience worthwhile. There is no doubt that addressing many of the health problems facing not only advanced industrialized nations and developing nations in the world require more than just one approach. The evidence from many reviews has shown that public health problems in the new century require a multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary approach to tackle and reflect on them. To this, I think the PhoenixEM programme has been able to do this from the participating institutions and the country specific historical perspectives which I also hope can be applied to other countries. This particular point was useful for my comprehensive exam here in Canada. I must admit that my experience in the programme opened up a new chapter in my life and interest in health research both in low-and-middle income countries as well as in advanced industrialized countries such as France and Sweden. It has had tremendously impact in my understanding of not only the organization of health care in developed countries and also given me a tool to compare the good, the bad and ugly in these countries. Above all, my experience in Europe has helped a lot in my doctoral programme here in Canada. First of all, all the knowledge gained during the masters was useful during my seminar and secondly, it made my comprehensive exam (written/oral) a lot easier as I was able to use the wealth of knowledge gathered during the exam. The approaches from the two universities I attended as well as the seminar weeks in the other participating institutions have been very useful."

"The experience in the international students group is fantastic. Not only about the cultural perspectives, but also about the “thinking". This kind of education should be encouraged and promoted to a larger extent. In my current job, the training at LiU and EHESS facilitate much my work. Without Phoenix EM experiences, it could not possible to get my current job at prestige university in China and in the world".

"This experience was very good because it allowed me to know other cultures and appreciate cultural diversity and above all to exchange views about health. I think both multidisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity are essential to address the Health Sciences and especially the Public Health. Its relevance is related to the need to address complex issues from academic knowledge complementarity".

"The courses covered a very broad range of topics regarding public health, it also gives us a picture about the health policies with a global perspective, not only European view. I got interested in many health areas, including healthcare policy, economic health, health service and management. I think the master will help me in my PhD study if I want to pursue it in the near future. Because we were trained in a very strict way and we studied in different countries, so basically we gained a wide range of knowledge and different academic methodologies. Research capability was improved a lot after two years study".
