CHS Global Initiatives

Healthcare providers experience diversity daily. And professional success—whether that be improved patient outcomes or interprofessional teamwork—requires clinicians to navigate intercultural difference with humility, skill, and grace. Students need experience living, learning, studying, and working with people who are different from them and education abroad offers CHS students the perfect platform for these worthy goals. Education abroad is also a well-known high-impact practice. UK students who participate in education abroad reduce their time to graduation, are more likely to graduate in 4 years, and earn significantly higher GPAs.
