He initially majored in Biology at the Ateneo de Manila University, then transferred to the University of San Francisco, taking up the same course. He eventually got a degree in veterinary medicine from the University of the Philippines Diliman in 1977,〔 and proceeded to begin his career as a veterinarian, which included a brief teaching stint at the veterinary school of Araneta University (now De La Salle Araneta University), before moving on "''to human public health and pharmacology...and eventually, medical anthropology.''" He continues to use his skills as a veterinarian, however, working with such groups as the Philippine Animal Welfare Society and the Dog Scouts of the Philippines to promote animal welfare, and giving occasional advice as he goes about during his NGO work. Tan also works with the Ateneo de Manila University, "''teaching doctors to be more sensitive to the social and cultural aspects of healthcare.''"〔 He earned a Master of Arts in Anthropology from the Texas A&M University in 1982, and then obtained his PhD in social and political science from the Medical Anthropology Unit of the University of Amsterdam in 1996.〔〔http://prezi.com/4v6ybrdvm_ai/michael-tan/〕 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「Michael Tan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
