NUR 3560 - Global Issues and Community Health

(2)
This course provides students the opportunity to explore the impact of international policy on the health and well-being of individuals and communities in under resourced countries. The course provides an opportunity to explore the role of cultural beliefs, social justice, and health seeking behaviors in vulnerable populations. During the international immersion experience students will live and work in a country and culture different from their own. This elective is developed to provide a learning experience through service to the community with a focus on family and community health. Active clinical participation is provided in thoughtfully organized hands-on service experiences that meet community needs.
