International Service Learning: Experiential Medical Education

This podcast will highlight the values of international service learning study abroad trips taken by healthcare focused faculty and students. Guests will include healthcare focused students and faculty, from high school to university, that have had an opportunity to participate in an international service-learning trip, as well as healthcare professionals that have served abroad. Additionally, we will have guests that are industry leaders in healthcare, education, study abroad, spirituality, and service as well as those living in the countries being served. Through our "passionate conversations about healthcare experiences", both internationally and locally, we hope to motivate and inspire others to consider participating in an international service-learning trip ... which might lead to a future career in healthcare.
