The
Department of Public Health of Southern Connecticut State University
provides graduate and undergraduate students with an opportunity
to learn about public health, firsthand, in a developing country.
This experience expands the world view of individuals from any discipline,
and, therefore, participation is open to all — including graduate
and undergraduate students. The unique learning tools developed
for this six-credit course experience bring students into extensive
contact with the people of Guatemala, and require collaborative
efforts of participants.
Dr. William Faraclas has been taking students abroad
since 1976, when the Department offered its first International
Field Study in Health in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Since
1995, the annual field study has been conducted in colorful Guatemala.
The 2008 International Field Study in
Health will be conducted, once again, in the fascinating country
of Guatemala. The second poorest nation in the Western hemisphere,
Guatemala is rich in human spirit and ruggedly beautiful terrain.
The 2008 International Field Study in Health receives
generous
consideration from Taca Airlines.
