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.
Community Impact
By providing lead screenings for low income children, collecting food for the Raul Jimenez Thanksgiving Dinner, organizing a donation drive for victims of Hurricane Harvey, giving vision, hearing, blood pressure and glucose screening at health fairs and providing health education at Boys Town, UIW students show their commitment to serving the patients and communities in Texas.
Financial Assistance
Numerous need-based and merit-based nursing scholarships are available. For example, the Texas Top Five Percent Direct Admit Health Professions Program, sponsored by H-E-B, provides the first 25 public high school students who enroll $10,000 over the course of their college career.
