title: A global service-learning experience for nursing students in Tanzania: a model for collaboration.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This article addresses a model for creating a short-term global service-learning program. The Global Standards for the Initial Education of Professional Nurses and Midwives guided the development of a collaborative program involving a school of nursing in the Midwestern United States and one in Tanzania.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Evaluation of the school of nursing and subsequent collaborative planning led to development and implementation of a 3-week global service-learning experience for nursing students.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  International academic partnerships, developed in accordance with WHO standards, will enhance educational experiences for nursing students both in the United States and abroad.
