title: Nursing abroad. New perspectives for baccalaureate students.
abstract: A guided international nursing study course at the University of British Columbia School of Nursing is a means by which students can plan and conduct a nursing "study" in a developing country. The students gain enhanced knowledge about the determinants of health, understanding of alternative strategies, improved transcultural sensitivity, a stronger appreciation of the role of the nurse and a broader, global view of health.
