Global Engagement

Engaging in global communities is critical to the education and development of nursing professionals. Over the last decade, UWG THSON students and faculty traveled to Hungary, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Italy. Experiences in these programs included engaging with people living in impoverished communities with little access to healthcare and exploring national health systems.

The THSON study abroad program currently travels to Foligno, Italy, where students learn alongside nursing students from the University of Perugia. Students engage with nurses at a Servizio Sanitario Nazionale (National Health Service) hospital, exploring several nursing specialties. The experience also allows students opportunities to enjoy Italian culture. Our study abroad program is open to pre-nursing, undergraduate, and graduate nursing students.

The THSON looks forward to continuing to offer opportunities for engagement in communities and our world.
