Global Health Internship

Catalog description

This internship course is for students selected for the global health field experience. Students will travel to an international site and collaborate, either individually or in groups, with a local community partner on a practical public health project that will result in a deliverable students will provide to the partner. Each student is expected to complete at least 100 hours of fieldwork and fulfill all project requirements while abroad. Students will use an asset-based assessment modality, as opposed to deficit-based, when developing their projects. Upon return, students will share their experience with the Loyola University Chicago community through a final presentation.
