The course begins with a one‐week orientation prior to leaving for Sweden. Focusing on one specific diagnosis, teams will see the role of various health care providers and experience the interdisciplinary cooperation that is fundamental to service delivery in health care.

Visits to local hospitals, clinics and community organizations will provide exposure to critical care and health promotion issues within the US medical system. These same learning experiences will be provided to students in Sweden through our partnership with the School of Health Sciences at Jönköping University. Focusing on one specific diagnosis, teams will see the benefits and drawbacks of consumer purchased versus state provided health care.
