GLOBAL HEALTH SQUADS

With the facilitation of our local teams, students help improve health outcomes in under resourced communities abroad by supporting and participating in clinics and public health campaigns. 

Bring International Experiential Service Learning Programs to Your Students through:

ONLINE HYBRID LEARNING

Online Hybrid Global Health Squads propel students into an international medical relief organization right from the classroom.  These online programs create engaging experiential learning environments by leveraging telemedical tools and in-country medical teams to involve students in real patient cases and healthcare work.

Squads are passionate groups of volunteers who mobilize abroad to create positive change. Each Squad type has a skill-based focus area that support the education, health and economic development objectives of community partners. Faculty choose their dates, duration (typically 1-2 weeks), and their site location from one of our six program countries.
