Nursing Connections Across the Globe

At the USF College of Nursing, global engagement brings students, faculty and international partners together to learn from one another and share expertise. Through global nursing experiences, international clinical learning, research collaborations and academic exchange, our community explores different approaches to health care and builds connections that extend beyond borders. Discover opportunities for USF nursing students to learn abroad and for international visitors and scholars to collaborate with the college.

A Global Nursing Experience That Lasts Beyond the Trip

“Experiences like this help you grow both clinically and culturally, so you can provide more compassionate care in diverse communities.”
