International Health Care - Field Research (HSC 380) provides health science students with an overview of the health care structure, systems and delivery in another country. Field research is conducted during a semester break trip, during which time students interact with the local community members and health professionals. Prior to the trip, students research the factors that influence the quality, access and finance of health care. Common health issues and their social determinants are explored as they relate to the subpopulation of interest. The goal of this course is to increase students' knowledge and abilities to analyze and address health care issues specific to a population while in the field.

This course provides students with an opportunity to engage in class research, and analyze “The Blue Zones", where people live longer and healthier lives.
Students will engage with local community members and discuss factors that influence their health, such as, environmental, political, cultural, biological, psychological and social interactions and how these factors relate to the “Blue Zones Power 9.”
The goal of this course is to increase students' knowledge and awareness through field discussions and activities with people living in a “Blue Zone” on their perspectives, attitudes and experiences surrounding health and wellness.
