The College of Nursing offers International Clinical experience for Junior, Senior and Graduate level nursing students. This intense clinical experience provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves into new cultures while developing and sharpening their clinical nursing skills. The clinical experience includes:
- Providing primary health care to underserved populations,
- Introduction into tropical medicine,
- Assessing community health needs and providing health care education,
- Immunizations clinics,
- One on one interactions with local physicians, nurses and tribal medicine men.
This clinical opportunity serves to increase cultural awareness and competency amongst our nursing students.
Future International Clinical experiences are planned for March 2008 to Costa Rica. For more information please contact:
