This study abroad experience is headquartered at the University of Evansville’s British study abroad location, Harlaxton College. The 10-day class is designed for both practicing health care professionals and full-time students.
This course focuses on a comparison of health care systems in Great Britain and the United States. Both historical and modern health care sites are visited. The tentative schedule includes visits to Nottingham, Lincoln, Eyam, Chesterfield and Grantham. The origin of health care systems will be studied during visits to a hospital, hospice, selected almshouses and cathedrals. Group discussions with British citizens concerning the consumer’s view of the British health care system are also scheduled. The course concludes with two nights in London. While in London students will visit medical museums and historical health care sites.
You may receive three hours of graduate or undergraduate credit in health services administration for HSA 499 or HSA 599. A limited number of spaces are available for guests that may accompany those registered for the course. Students should check with their home school for course approval and course transfer information.
Accommodations for the study tour will be at Harlaxton College. Harlaxton Manor is a unique facility. It is a residence hall with dormitory type accommodations cleverly concealed within a 101-room manor. The final two nights will be in London.
The estimated comprehensive charge for the course is $3,745 for undergraduate or graduate credit. The charge includes tuition (3 credits), room and all meals, entrance fees to medical museums and cathedrals, transportation from London airport to Harlaxton, two nights at a London hotel and all field trips.
