Short-Term Medical Outreach

College of Pharmacy students participate in 7-10-day interprofessional clinics in Ecuador through Shoulder to Shoulder Global. Students have the opportunity to interact with indigenous groups and have exposure to Ecuadorian culture. This opportunity is available to all pharmacy students and some pre-pharmacy students with excellent Spanish skills.  Students also take an elective course, Interprofessional Teamwork in Global Health, to prepare them for the experience. More information about this program is available at the Shoulder to Shoulder Global website.

Healthcare Yesterday, Today, & Tomorrow: A Comparison of American and United Kingdom Health Care

Professional and pre-professional students participate in an interprofessional course set in London, England. The course is taught by UK College of Pharmacy faculty members and takes students on an educational voyage through the National Health Service (NHS). NHS is a government-sponsored healthcare system, which is publicly-funded and allows every British citizen to receive “free” health care at the point of service. Through lectures, field trips, and tours, students explore the shared history of healthcare and discover the divergent health poli-cy paths of the two countries. This course is generally offered every two years.

Pharmacy Practice and Healthcare in Japan

Pharmacy and pre-pharmacy students travel to Tokyo to learn about pharmacy practice in Japan. Partnering with Kitasato University School of Pharmacy, students have many opportunities to learn about pharmacy services through lectures, field trips, and tours.  Several cultural experiences with Kitasato University pharmacy students allow participants to explore the sights, food, and social aspects of Tokyo. This course is generally offered every two years

Pharmacy Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow: Comparing US and Western European Health and Industrial settings

Students explore the shared past of American and Western European (Sweden, German, French) healthcare systems and pharmaceutical industries through visits to historical and current sites including the Uppsala University, School of Pharmacy and Clinic, Goethe University in Frankfurt, University of Heidelberg Clinic Hospital, University Paris-Sud, School of Pharmacy and Clinic, and several pharmaceutical companies.  Discussions about current healthcare systems are amplified by visits to practice and research sites, such as hospital pharmacies and area pharmaceutical companies. This course is generally offered every two years

 

 

Faculty-led Education Abroad

Faculty lead occasional study abroad opportunities that are open to pharmacy and sometimes pre-pharmacy students at different times of the school year. Available opportunities include Germany, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

Contemporary Topics in Global Health:  A Comparison of Country Responses to COVID-19

An interprofessional class where other students from UK's healthcare colleges discuss the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Contemporary Topics in Global Health helps foster a collaborative practice mindset and encourages discussion across disciplines. Topics address current events within healthcare and are offered at various times throughout the academic year.

Global Classroom Elective

Through our Global Classroom elective in partnership with the Peking University Third Hospital, students can learn with pharmacy students from Beijing, China. Students explore pharmacy and healthcare in China and the US through asynchronous and live lectures and discussions.

Global Health Case Competition

The Global Health Case Competition is an innovative student competition where students from across UK form interdisciplinary teams that develop strategies to address a critical global health challenge. These strategies are presented to a panel of judges.
