IES Abroad London - Health Practice & Policy

This study abroad program was amazing! For students interested in health, this is the perfect overlap between community engagement and healthcare policy. The initial draw for me was the ability to study healthcare in both London and Jamaica. London is amazing city to study in and there's so much to explore in the UK alone. It's also very easy to visit other countries from London. The professors for this program are amazing and want to see students succeed. There are many professional opportunities as the program requires a community volunteer placement - students engage with local residents and learn more about the UK's national healthcare system. Finally, students spend 10 days in Jamaica exploring local sights, trying new foods, and shadowing in healthcare clinics.
