In a way, it\u2019s appropriate that Prakash Pathak would end up pursuing medicine.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrakash is a Sanskrit term,\u201d the first-year medical student told North Dakota Medicine.<\/em> \u201cAnd it essentially means light, or you might say sunlight. And my last name means one who teaches.\u201d<\/p>\n

The teacher of light, or shining instructor. This sounds about right for a bright young man who not long ago took the Hippocratic Oath, which all but mandates physicians to teach their art to those who follow.<\/p>\n

And Prakash, who is in the process of becoming an American citizen, is today determined to make the most of an opportunity his parents and so many of his countrymen never had.<\/p>\n

Coming to America<\/h4>\n

Because it was almost not so.<\/p>\n

Prakash comes from a long line of Nepali language-speaking Bhutanese people, who had immigrated from Nepal to Bhutan over the course of several generations. As tensions rose between the Nepali-speaking immigrants and Bhutanese natives along the border between those nations in the late 20th century, the Kingdom of Bhutan eventually evicted these \u201cLhotshampa\u201d (or \u201csoutherners\u201d), forcibly sending them back to Nepal.<\/p>\n

But when Nepal refused the refugees, the Lhotshampa found themselves stateless, and living in camps in southeastern Nepal that were established by the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) in the late 1990s. At their height, these camps housed more than 100,000 Nepali-Bhutanese refugees.<\/p>\n

So it is that the first-generation college student and son of Bhutanese immigrants spent the first decade and a half of his life in a United Nations refugee camp in Nepal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where my parents and my grandparents settled, and that\u2019s where all of us were born,\u201d explained Prakash, noting that the U.N. and other NGOs provided education for children in the camps.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just wanted to go to United States \u2014 it didn\u2019t matter where,\u201d laughed Prakash, whose extended family was resettled to Ohio. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have much control. So they brought us to Grand Forks.\u201d<\/p>\n

By 2008, the United States and other Western nations began accepting the refugees, after a long application and vetting process. Prakash and his family applied for resettlement in 2009 and arrived in Grand Forks in 2011, when he was 15.<\/p>\n

College Bound<\/h4>\n

And he has been here ever since, a proud part of the several hundred-strong Bhutanese community in North Dakota\u2019s third-largest city.<\/p>\n

Continuing his education through the English Language Learner program at Red River High School, Prakash, who had already been learning English in the camp, graduated and began to think about college, a decision that weighs heavily on many second-generation immigrants.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the first person to start the four-year college journey,\u201d said Prakash of applying to UND. \u201cMy parents\u2019 goal for all of us kids, including me, is to do something better than them. They were born under circumstances where they weren\u2019t able to get education. I was fortunate enough to have education in the refugee camp. So, when I came here, all I needed to do was learn English and get to the normal course of my education. Now I am the first person in the family [to attend college].\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a big deal.<\/p>\n

As was graduating from UND, which Prakash did, cum laude, in May 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology (pre-medicine track). Then it was off to the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences to study medicine, which had been an interest of his from early on, he said, sparked in part by his experience in the camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, I think my interest in medicine came from sort of a lack of medicine,\u201d Prakash explained. \u201cI never saw doctors growing up, you know. We would only have seen [a physician] when someone was very sick. For example, when my brother got sick there was a really scary time and there wasn\u2019t a clinic in the camp. They weren\u2019t able to cure or do anything about it. So we had to go outside of the camp to go to a hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the first time I saw medicine in action,\u201d he continued. \u201cScience is why my brother was cured. When I think back now, that was kind of a point where I started thinking, \u2018Oh, I can make people better\u2014 cure diseases and do many things.\u2019 That\u2019s when I started thinking about medicine and so when I came here, I pursued it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Pathak Goes to Bismarck<\/h4>\n

Now Prakash is a medical student at the University of North Dakota. More than this, though, he feels part of the greater North Dakota community.<\/p>\n

His work at a local department store and time studying the connection between arsenic and bladder cancer in the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences pathology lab with Dr. Seema Somji aside, Prakash has been keen on giving back to the community that has given him a second chance.<\/p>\n

And sometimes that desire to serve can make things complicated for his family.<\/p>\n

Volunteering with campus organizations and the local immigrant integration nonprofit Global Friends Coalition, which helps new Americans and former refugees adapt to life in a new community, Prakash has already traveled to Bismarck to speak to members of the North Dakota Legislative Assembly on immigration issues.<\/p>\n

After a bill was brought to the Assembly in 2017 allowing the governor to ban the resettlement of refugees in North Dakota, Prakash and his allies stepped up, helping legislators understand the nuances of immigration issues while the bill was still in committee.<\/p>\n

According to Prakash, whose family had already been evicted from two places before coming to the United States, the need to speak up in a formal way was personal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the experience of growing up in a place where so much is limited \u2014 education limited, health care limited,\u201d said Prakash. \u201cI was in a place [in life] where I had to make it possible for somebody else who is in a refugee camp right now, a kid growing up, to succeed. Who might have dreams of one day going to not just the United States, but anywhere in the world. [They should] be able to have the right to amnesty and make something out of themselves. And I still think that\u2019s my responsibility \u2014 to make that possible for other kids like me.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is to say, for a member of a community that has already been rejected twice on a global stage, it was simply out of the question, thought Prakash, that a third nation \u2014 and the United States of America at that \u2014 would try to curtail both current and future immigration efforts.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents were like, \u2018Don\u2019t go, you\u2019re going to get yourself into trouble\u2019 and things like that,\u201d he recalled. \u201cIt was hard for me to make them understand how I looked at the situation, and I still do. I know how it feels [to be rejected].\u201d<\/p>\n

In the end, the bill was greatly revised and turned into a study<\/a> of the economic impact immigrants broadly have on the state. And as it turns out, that impact is net positive.<\/p>\n

All of which is why Prakash worked so hard not only to get into medical school, but stick up for immigrants\u2019 rights: to make the community in which his family is living a better and even more prosperous place.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s also why he ultimately chose UND over other medical schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be close to my family,\u201d he said. \u201cPlus, I serve as a resource for my parents since they don\u2019t speak great English. For me family is very important. I want to be able to help people who wouldn\u2019t easily get access to health care. We have a population that doesn\u2019t have optimal access to health care here in North Dakota, and elsewhere in the United States. So, that\u2019s where I see myself being involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
