The world is their classroom: students and faculty travel to 埃及
“In every place we visited there was history at our feet that stretched farther back than any other place on Earth."
冒险是最好的学习方式.
一月初, 14 利记sbo students from a range of health profession majors joined Doctors Thomas Crist, 阿什拉夫Elmarakby, 和艾伦·史密斯一起去开罗旅行, 埃及. This marked the first international offering of the Interprofessional Education program, which was implemented by Dean of Health Professions and Education Dr. 艾哈迈德Radwan, to promote collaborative work experiences and professionalism among healthcare practitioners.
“Dr. 拉德万博士. 艾伦史密斯, 国际政治经济学项目主任, have pursued the delivery of the IPE 505 course in international sites as a means to provide students with unique cultural contexts for learning about interprofessional practice,” explained Associate Provost Daniel Kratochvil.
These programs are being developed in conjunction with the Office of 国际教育ucation under the direction of Associate Provost Kratochvil.
DPT学生Emily Joss 24岁, described the experience as stepping into a time machine - with moments both pointing to a storied past and others that seemed to be a step into the future. “In every place we visited there was history at our feet that stretched farther back than any other place on Earth, 那真是难以置信的超现实,她解释道. “Then there were other times that we were alongside doctors, creators and students who were quite literally changing the world with the desert sand.”
Based at the new campus of the prestigious American University in Cairo (a partner of 利记sbo), several lectures were provided by AUC professors on topics such as healthcare coordination and the 埃及ian healthcare sector, plus a roundtable discussion with graduate students from the Institute of Global Health and Human Ecology.
“我们去过的每一个地方, we were welcomed by people that expressed excitement and compassion like I've never felt before,艾米丽说. “At every turn their excitement to share with me their country was something I won't forget. I am grateful for everything I was taught, shown, and given during my time there.”
除了, several site visits gave the Utica students the opportunity to see firsthand healthcare and social service provision in the Cairo area. These educational opportunities were interwoven with visits to cultural and historical sites such as the pyramids of Giza, 科普特空中教堂, and the National Museum of 埃及ian Civilization.
“Exploratory trips for developing additional IPE courses in Ghana and Ecuador have already been completed,副教务长博士说. Kratochvil. “It is anticipated that these courses can run in conjunction with a variety of courses from other departments at the University, 包括非洲研究专业.”
