Program Overview
The goal of this interdisciplinary trip is for students to gain a broader understanding of various healthcare systems to which they can integrate into their own healthcare practices, while increasing their ability to advocate for their clients and patients. A secondary goal of the trip is for the Athletic Training (AT), Occupational Therapy (OT), and Physical Therapy (PT) students to deepen their foundational knowledge of interprofessional practice/education, as they explore overlapping components of each of their disciplines on the trip. Lastly, students will deepen their understanding of cultural competence through exploration of London and nearby cities.
