FHS Abroad
Cultural practices, disease patterns and healthcare systems are vastly different in different countries around the globe. This unit provides students with the opportunity to work with non-government organisations in a developing country for up to six weeks. Regions where students can be placed include South and South-East Asia. As part of the units below students will be expected to participate in local development programs, live within the community that they are visiting, and document key health and development issues.
