Join 15–20 university students from around the world for a 12-day immersive journey through the U.S. healthcare landscape. Based in Silicon Valley, the Exploring Health Care (EHC) program includes site visits to San Francisco and Stanford University, offering a deep dive into real-world healthcare environments.

Explore a wide range of topics including organ transplantation, palliative care, public health, and medical education. Use the healthcare system as a framework to examine broader cultural and social issues that shape patient care and public health outcomes.

Engage in reflective discussions on your future role in healthcare while receiving mentorship from professionals across the U.S. and connecting with peers who share your passion for global health.

This program welcomes students in pre-med, pharmacy, nursing, public health, and other health-related fields who are eager to think critically and collaboratively about the future of care.
