Field School
The International Field School provides students with first-hand insights into the challenging and innovative nature of health and health care delivery in resource constrained settings. Through daily site visits and lectures by subject matter experts, students gain invaluable insight into the realities of Global Health and the systems thinking approaches that they have learned about throughout the first two terms of the program.
Premised on extensive relationships established throughout East Africa, our partners abroad help us deliver a quality experience for each cohort. No two cohorts have had the same experience, and our students attest to the immersive nature of this innovative teaching and learning approach.
The Field School is intensive and participatory engaged learning experience by design. Over the course of three weeks, students have the opportunity to visit various community health outreach initiatives, national hospitals and labs and mental health facilities over the course of two weeks.
St. Jude's Agricultural College in Uganda will be the home base for the Field School in the summer of 2020.
