About this Program

This trip will be a 10 day immersion with our partner organization CerviCusco, https://cervicusco.org/ and is based at their clinic in Cusco, Peru. Students and faculty will stay in the clinic and cook in the communal kitchen. They will be paired with specialists practicing in family medicine, women’s health, and ultrasound, and will also participate in community mobile clinics and travel to Andean villages. This would be a great opportunity for DNP 2 students to begin work on a global project. This opportunity is ideal for DNP 3 students in primary care tracks and will count for 40 hours of clinical, BSN students, and students from the diagnostic ultrasound program. The syllabus for this Topics in Global Health course is available from faculty. Cervicusco will do an online orientation for participants. SU Course(s): UCOR 3600/NURS 6910

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.
