About this Program

This trip will be a 7-10 day immersion with our partner organization, Nursing Heart https://nursingheart.org/. This will be our 3rd trip with Nursing Heart; depending on the numbers and levels of students participating, we will provide care to patients in rural clinics, provide cervical cancer screening with Guatemalan physicians and nurses, do wellness assessments for children in primary schools, and visit a home for orphans who have been abandoned by their families. Depending on interest, we may visit our sister university in Quetzaltenango and a cooperative and birth center for traditional midwives. This opportunity is ideal for DNP 3 students in primary care tracks and will count for 40 hours of clinical, and for BSN students interested in community and public health. Trip is capped at 12 students. The syllabus for this Topics in Global Health course is available from faculty. The Program Fee pays for group food, lodging, transportation, clinic supplies and medicines that we will use to treat patients in village clinics, as well as salaries for our Guatemalan colleagues.

Housing at Seattle University

Moving can be both costly and stressful, but careful planning can help minimize both. Start by creating a housing plan for before and after your study abroad experience to avoid the pressure of continuing to pay for rent at home. Program fees typically cover housing abroad, so if you expect to incur additional domestic rent expenses, be sure to include these in your budget. If possible, consider staying with family or friends temporarily before you depart or when you return to save on costs.

Housing Residence Life

Education Abroad typically recommends considering Seattle University on-campus housing for when students return from their programs, as Housing Residence Life staff are able to support students in securing housing, while adhering to student preferenceas best as they can.
