Big Experiences Lead to Bold Futures
Under the Launch career development platform, all students graduate with at least two experiential learning opportunities on their transcripts. Guaranteed.
This shortTREC program will count towards this out-of-the-classroom requirement in Drew’s rigorous curriculum.
Travel
Visit key cities to study the complex interplay between modern and traditional medicine in South Africa: Durban, a multicultural port city; Johannesburg, South Africa’s vibrant heart; and Cape Town, a cosmopolitan coastal city. Each offers a unique perspective on South African medicine, from modern teaching hospitals, NGOs and research labs to rural clinics and traditional healing centers.
Rethink
Culture and Human Health
What is the relationship between health care and culture in South Africa? How and why do South Africans integrate modern Western medicine with traditional healing practices? Might this South African approach—addressing mind, body, and soul—hold lessons for us?
Explore
Synthesize Immersive and Academic Learning
