Around her 16th birthday she was hospitalised for a serious health crisis which was attributed to leukemia or aplastic anemia. According to Shin, the experience made her a passionate advocate for Canada's health care system.〔 Two months after her 16th birthday, Shin was awarded $400 by the City of Surrey as part of their inaugural Youth Recognition Awards. As a child, Shin had volunteered for the Canadian Red Cross Society, Greenpeace, the Multicultural Society of B.C. and many others.〔https://www.leg.bc.ca/mla/40thParl/shin-Jane.htm〕 "When my family's small ice cream store failed, my parents, in their 50s, found the courage to go back to school and earn their credentials in health care," Shin said in the Legislature. "My family is a testament to our fight to keep quality education accessible and affordable for all of us, even for the oldest, like my parents." She added, "I'll be continuing that good fight in this Legislature for our students, our families and our educators."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.leg.bc.ca/hansard/40th1st/20130703pm-Hansard-v1n6.htm#107 )〕 Shin studied genetics and cell biology at the University of British Columbia for several years but did not receive an undergraduate degree. Shin later completed a doctorate in medicine in 2007 from Spartan Health Sciences University in Vieux Fort, St. Lucia, in the Caribbean, an institution recognised by the Medical Council of Canada. During medical school, Shin performed clinical rotations at University of Edinburgh, Dalhousie University, and John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital.〔 Shin's rotation research at the Royal Victoria Infirmary of Newcastle upon Tyne co-authored two publications on chronic fatigue syndrome.〔(JL Newton, MD, PhD, A Sheth, MD, J Shin, MD, J Pairman, K Wilton, JA Burt and DEJ Jones, MD, PhD "Lower Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." Psychosomatic Medicine April 2009, 71(3), 361-365 )〕〔(JL Newton, O Okonkwo, K Sutcliffe, A Seth, J Shin, DEJ Jones. "Symptoms of Autonomic Dysfunction in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome." QJM 2007, 100(8), 519-526 )〕 Shin later decided that she preferred teaching over conventional medical practice,〔 and thus did not complete a residency〔 necessary to gain a license to practice medicine in British Columbia.〔 Shin has taught at British Columbia Institute of Technology, Vancouver Community College, and West Coast College of Massage Therapy.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jane Shin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
