Healthcare Faculty-Led

This Healthcare Faculty-Led program allows students to explore contemporary issues and cross-cultural definitions of health. They become part of the solution as they learn how to improve the health of all people and work towards global health equity.

We are dedicated to giving students an incredible opportunity to take learning outside of the classroom and experience it within their host country.
