Pre-health majors generally do not plan semester-long study abroad. Clinically-relevant summer internships at international medical, dental, etc. schools offer a highly desirable and valuable alternative. Qualitative results will be presented, along with direct reports from three students who interned in South Africa, Mexico, and India the summer 2013.
