This on-campus May term program provides both a curricular and an experiential component for students early in their pre-health career. The course will be staffed by faculty teaching 1-2 day modules on a diverse array of topics that prepare a student holistically for future work in health care in a diverse country. These modules will include topics such as medical ethics, multi-dimensional intercultural competence, basic Spanish, and basic medical procedures (blood pressure,…) for two weeks while on the EC campus.  In the final week, students will live in Indianapolis and volunteer/shadow a variety of health professions at Alivio Medical Center (https://aliviohealth.com/), which is a bi-lingual medical facility.
