Expanding Nursing Clinical Skills in a Developing Country
This seven day program for nurses in training engages in a sequence of clinical experiences that deliver health services to resource-limited communities in rural settings. Students will engage with local doctors, pharmacists, and patients explore details of region-specific diseases and health issues impacting individual and community health, understand pharmacological practices and the application of traditional medicines, learn how to conduct monitoring and evaluations in the context of a community clinic, develop and deliver educational services to patients, and work to develop intercultural competencies throughout the program.
