Program:

• COIL: Comparative Health Systems – Nursing and Midwifery Response to Global Health Crises

Ask me about...

• Being on a virtual exchange

• Scheduling meetings with people from across the world in different time zones

• Breaking out of your comfort zone

My Experience Abroad:

This experience related to my major in Nursing as well as my minor in global health. With my academic interests, I plan to learn more about global healthcare systems and be able to apply my clinical experiences in these global settings, although this was a virtual exchange, it allowed me to talk to students from a variety of nations all over the world with similar interests as mine (midwifery and global health).

Other Highlights:

• Learning about other cultures from several countries

• Learning about climate change and its connection to healthcare

• Talking to nursing students in different parts of their education to get advice and insight about the experiences of clinicals
