Assessing Intercultural Competency and Value of Virtual International Experiences
Amy N. Morris; Sondra T. Schreiber
Assessment Update, v36 n3 p8, 13 2024
Post-pandemic, the number of virtual international experiences through the Department of Global Health at Des Moines University (DMU) has declined from the high of 41 students as traditional international travel has resumed. However, DMU continues to provide virtual international experiences for students who cannot travel abroad due to financial and/or other commitments. This assessment of student learning shows virtual international experiences provide evidence of increased intercultural competencies as well as make connections with their health profession program. In addition, these virtual experiences provide an opportunity for students who might not otherwise take advantage of an international opportunity during their health care profession training.
