Before you travel abroad to work in a health care setting, there are
some things you should know about staying safe AND getting the most out
of your experience. This two-evening workshop is designed to cover practical
issues as well as the cultural aspects of health work in another country.
- Find out what student health insurance covers
- Learn where to check for security and health advisories
- Hear stories from UCSF students about their travels
- Participate in a discussion about cultural competency
- Learn why you may need to adopt new attitudes
- Chat with the IH faculty and staff over dinner
Note: If you plan to request Study Abroad funds from the Office
of International Programs, attendance at both evenings is requested.
The workshop will be offered again in April or May.
