Global Healthcare Education: Jefferson Students in Rome

At Thomas Jefferson University, we believe in fostering a global presence for our students, giving them the opportunity to not only understand healthcare in Philadelphia and the U.S. but also around the world. Our nursing students share their experiences working within the healthcare system in Rome, Italy.
From learning the importance of teamwork and communication, to understanding new cultural approaches in patient care, this immersive clinical experience has expanded their perspectives. They reflect on moments of collaboration with local healthcare teams, adapting to new environments, and gaining valuable hands-on skills in patient care.
Join us as we explore their journey, including cherished interactions with welcoming healthcare professionals and the rich cultural experiences Rome has to offer-like food tours and a cooking class with a local Nona! This is healthcare education that goes beyond borders.
