Description

In determining the academic program, we seek to combine hands-on experiences with opportunities to derive comparative insight into medical practice across countries. The Stockholm portion of the tour features a visit to the Caprio Artro Clinic, a premier sports trauma research center in Stockholm, where students may have the opportunity to meet with the Head of Surgery to witness a surgery on a sports-related injury. Students are further exposed to the medical landscape with visits to Läkare i Världen clinic and Stockholm Prehospital center.

In Tallinn, students have gotten the opportunity to visit both the North Estonian Regional Hospital and an Estonian general practice clinic. This part of the tour is particularly enriching because it not only gives students additional clinical experience, but it also highlights many of the challenges faced by post-communist countries and their effect on medical practice.

In both destinations the academic program is supplemented with cultural visits to relevant and exciting sites to help students engage to the fullest extent. In the past, cultural visits have included city bike tours, brewery visits, and performances.
