The goals of our Cross Cultural Health Care class are for\nstudents to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Develop\na critical awareness of self and others within an intercultural context<\/li>
  2. Cultivate\nglobal awareness of social contexts, systems, and institutions<\/li>
  3. Assess\nbiomedicine, popular and folk systems, human needs, and health care delivery in\nvarying cultural contexts<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Students begin preparing for\nthe cross culture experience in the fall of their first semester. In September,\nnew students attend “Cross Culture Journeys,” which is a time of\nsharing from students who recently returned from their life changing\nexperiences. New students can learn about the differences in destinations\nand expectations, and can get excited for what awaits them in their own cross\nculture experience. Later in the fall semester, informational meetings are\nheld where destinations are announced and the costs associated with each\nlocation are given. By mid-February, everyone has learned of where he or she\nwill spend three weeks in June. The excitement really begins to build as\ntravel arrangements are made in the spring. In the days leading up to their\ndeparture, students take part in orientation sessions learning how to best\ninsert themselves into the culture, and how to make the most of a rich learning\nexperience. Everyone returns in early July for a time of debriefing and reflecting\non personal and professional growth. This year all students will be\ntraveling to several cities in Peru with Professor Kristopher Schmidt. We\nexpect history to repeat itself, which means our students will return having\nexperienced personal growth and a new worldview, noting the experience as one\nof the highlights of their time in the MS in Biomedicine program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
