DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to international healthcare systems and patient care. In this course students engage with content in traditional lectures, readings, discussions, case studies, and hospital shadowing experiences. Hospital shadowing abroad allows students to observe international healthcare firsthand, learn from local clinicians and interact with a diverse range of patients from different cultural backgrounds. Through reflective practice, such as journaling, students are asked to articulate the differences of the host country's medical system; its work culture and cultural considerations to care, and their own perspectives on pursuing a career in healthcare. Students who successfully complete this course gain a unique experience and perspective on international healthcare.
