For participants who are interested in healthcare topics, this study abroad experience will enhance and strengthen their professional growth and development and promote lifelong learning, leadership, and advocacy to help strengthen the health care of the community and the public as a whole. Participants will trace the footsteps of Florence Nightingale, mother of modern nursing, through Victorian London and learn how a fine balance of compassion and innovation fueled the evolution of Britain’s healthcare system. Curated experiences including guided learning, cultural engagement, and independent exploration experiences to drive global competency development are emphasized throughout the trip, including a visit to the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Nursing Library & Heritage Center, chronicling 200 years of nursing in London with its multimedia collection of first-hand stories. Attendees will gain insight from local registered nurses and health professionals about their specialized practices and training, while enjoying the cultural highlights of London, England and Paris, France.
This Study Abroad opportunity is being coordinated by Dr. Denise Robinson, professor of nursing at MCCC. For more information contact her at ddrobinson@monroeccc.edu or visit https://www.efcollegestudytours.com/enroll-mccc.
