Service Learning and
Cross-cultural Immersion in Healthcare
Cross-cultural Immersion in Healthcare
The Westbrook College of Health Professions service learning program seeks to connect students, faculty, and staff with opportunities to engage in meaningful and mutually beneficial service activities within a variety of community settings.
Our ultimate goal is to enable every student in the college to participate in service as part of their UNE education. We believe this will enhance their program of study, broaden their understanding of societal health challenges locally, nationally and internationally, and inspire in students a lifelong commitment to service. Additionally, this commitment to service is bound to impact the health outcomes of individuals, communities and the populations served.
To realize this goal, the college is creating a variety of cross-cultural immersion opportunities. These cross-cultural opportunities will expose students to living, learning and working within collaborative social and academic environments, as well as provide students with exposure to communities and cultures different from their own.
