国产主播 and CHA University in South Korea are working together to help educate the nurses of tomorrow through a new international exchange program.

On April 2, for a 10-week course of instruction and simulation education experience at 国产主播-Los Angeles. Students will also gain hands-on experience at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center as they learn about nursing within the context of the American health system.

Additionally, 国产主播 is investigating the potential to send several nursing students to CHA University facilities in South Korea as part of next year鈥檚 Global Public Health program.
In preparation for a future 国产主播 student exchange, Dr. Jeb Egbert, Provost, and Dr. Robyn Nelson, Dean of Nursing, will accompany International Education Director Tina Newton for an exploratory site visit to CHA University in April. The team will visit hospitals, classrooms and CHA University鈥檚 dormitories where 国产主播 students will stay while studying and living in South Korea.

鈥淭his is a wonderful opportunity to create a broad partnership that may enrich several academic programs at 国产主播 in addition to the flagship Global Public Health Program in International Education,鈥� Newton said. 鈥淭here may be more potential collaboration that we鈥檒l discover on this trip and that鈥檚 always very exciting. The Korean healthcare and educational systems have so much value to offer for student learning.鈥�
