About
The elective Global Service Learning Trip course is part of the IUSD service programs (Community-based Dental Education), which aim at connecting meaningful community service experiences with academic and personal growth, as well as civic responsibility. Several of these programs utilize the service learning pedagogy, which includes additional components. For those programs, service learning is integrated into the curriculum and so provides structured time for reflection, enhances teaching and learning, and fosters civic responsibility. The global service learning (GSL) programs will enhance students' linguistic and cultural skills through an immersion experience and by informing students about health care systems in other countries.
