Seminar
Exploring International Perspectives in Medicine & Public Health
The purpose of this course is to promote an understanding of the context and background which frame health and healthcare in southern Honduras, as well as to develop skills necessary for a successful summer trip. Through discussions and seminars with multidisciplinary faculty, students will be introduced to the multiple forces that have shaped Honduras and its people. This course will also provide time for creating and simulating “charlas”, and of course practicing relevant medical Spanish.
