On this program, students will discover the different perspectives, challenges, and needs of diverse populations in London and Kingston with a once-in-a-lifetime community-based learning opportunity. Geared towards students studying public health, students will gain an understanding of how the British health care system operates by taking courses at Queen Mary, University of London (QMUL). Learn about the Jamaican community in London so you can compare their health care with those in Jamaica when you spend time at the University of West Indies School of Nursing in Mona, Jamaica. Everything you do will be a part of your immersive learning experience.
