Study Aboard Opportunity

Global Connections

Through interprofessional study abroad and service opportunities students gain an understanding of healthcare issues in other cultures. On recent UIW health mission trips to Oaxaca, Mexico, DNP students assessed and treated patients while optometry students conducted eye exams. Other trips included travels to Germany, India, China, Ecuador and South America, where the students learned about healthcare in different cultures.
