Professional Development I: International Experiential Learn

Catalog description

Professional Development I is the first in a three-course series designed to encourage professional development in one of three areas: research, teaching and learning, and practice management. The overarching goal of the Professional Development Series is to provide students with an understanding of the skills, activities, and ethics related to research, teaching and learning or practice management, an opportunity to explore continued professional development, and the tools necessary for lifelong learning. The course begins with an introduction to each topic area: research, teaching and learning and practice management. Students then work with a faculty advisor to learn about experiential learning through service learn. This work is in preparation for travel to participate in hands-on, fields-based activities designed to enhance your exposure to and understanding of healthcare in different parts of the world.
