NEOMED and Kent State University faculty have designed a new student study abroad program at the Florence Health Institute in Italy. Students will have the opportunity to study abroad this summer .
Program Benefits and Courses:
The institute will engage students across the health professions in a collaborative, interprofessional immersion to develop competencies in global health. The courses will focus on social determinants of health; comparatives of health care delivery between Italy and the US; history of infectious disease; medical Italian terminology and field trips through the Tuscan region. Students must complete three of the four offered courses, which can be taken for academic credit or non-credit. Students will also have opportunities for personal travel on weekends since classes are held Monday through Thursday each week.
In addition, the coursework could count towards a Global Health Certificate through the NEOMED College of Graduate Studies.
Financial Assistance:
NEOMED students who enroll in the program may receive assistance from the Vice President for Academic Affairs to help defray costs.
