One option that some have discovered is to combine a study abroad or study away experience in the context of healthcare experience or preceptorship. Global Initiatives - Education Abroad/Away is a great resource for researching and finding a program that can suit their needs.  They offer a variety of programs, including both credit and non-credit programs, faculty-led programs, exchange programs, programs during the academic year or winter/summer programs, and more.

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese offers a  opportunity during Winter term in which students can complete their foreign language requirement in Spanish while obtaining an international healthcare experience.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted our relationship with St. John's Medical College in Bangalore, India, and the Mallory-Wilson Center is working on re-establishing our Observership in India program for pre-healthcare students at ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú University. It provides significant, in-depth, first-hand healthcare experience. During the winter term 3-week preceptorship, students spend time in rural, urban, and hospital settings as they shadow physicians and medical students.  

In addition, this program can be used by Global Health minors to satisfy the off-campus experience component of GHS 401: Global Health Experience.
