STUDY ABROAD, MAKE A DIFFERENCE HERE “ Whether you eventually hope to practice medicine in another part of the world or you just want to gain a broader perspective on health, disease, and health care delivery, the Heritage College encourages students to participate in global health programs. Conducting research and receiving clinical training in international settings often changes the way our students approach their studies—and ultimately the way they practice medicine upon graduation. Amy Fernow, ’18 Undergraduate institution: University of Notre Dame Hometown: Bremen, OH “I was able to participate in a medical Spanish program in Ecuador during the summer between first and second year. I hope to do even more rotations abroad during my fourth year of medical school. These connections and opportunities have really allowed me to grow and expand my knowledge of medicine, language, and culture.” 21
