NARRATOR: Nursing
school doesn't often

00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:35.240 align:middle line:84%
sink with incredible study
abroad opportunities,

00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:36.585 align:middle line:90%
unless they're UVA

00:00:36.585 --> 00:00:38.335 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR EMMA MITCHELL:
I think that when

00:00:38.335 --> 00:00:40.670 align:middle line:84%
you look at global opportunities
for nursing students

00:00:40.670 --> 00:00:42.920 align:middle line:84%
across the US,
they are all guided

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:44.270 align:middle line:90%
by the best of intentions.

00:00:44.270 --> 00:00:47.990 align:middle line:84%
But not all of them guided by
a vision that really emphasizes

00:00:47.990 --> 00:00:50.390 align:middle line:90%
sustained cultural engagement.

00:00:50.390 --> 00:00:52.550 align:middle line:84%
For too long,
we've had a history

00:00:52.550 --> 00:00:56.390 align:middle line:84%
on a national scale of
offering students experiences

00:00:56.390 --> 00:01:00.050 align:middle line:84%
where they, we call it,
parachute into a community,

00:01:00.050 --> 00:01:02.720 align:middle line:84%
provide services that they
are adept at providing

00:01:02.720 --> 00:01:08.910 align:middle line:84%
in their usual clinical training
environments, and then leave.

00:01:08.910 --> 00:01:10.876 align:middle line:84%
NARRATOR: UVA offers
two opportunities

00:01:10.876 --> 00:01:12.500 align:middle line:84%
for undergrad and
grad nursing students

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:15.732 align:middle line:84%
to Nicaragua, one as
part of a J term course

00:01:15.732 --> 00:01:17.690 align:middle line:84%
and the other as part of
their community health

00:01:17.690 --> 00:01:19.820 align:middle line:90%
clinical rotation.

00:01:19.820 --> 00:01:22.850 align:middle line:84%
But no matter when they go,
students conduct in-depth study

00:01:22.850 --> 00:01:24.560 align:middle line:84%
on everything from
domestic violence

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.350 align:middle line:84%
to homeopathy to youth
violence prevention.

00:01:27.350 --> 00:01:29.630 align:middle line:84%
Others work with [INAUDIBLE]
own scholarship, focused

00:01:29.630 --> 00:01:32.060 align:middle line:84%
on novel methods of preventing,
detecting, and treating

00:01:32.060 --> 00:01:34.490 align:middle line:84%
cervical cancer, a disease
of disparity that's

00:01:34.490 --> 00:01:37.764 align:middle line:84%
a scourge in many developing
nations, Nicaragua included.

00:01:37.764 --> 00:01:39.680 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR EMMA MITCHELL:
We have strategically

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.200 align:middle line:84%
selected specific
sites where we have

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.580 align:middle line:84%
a long history, a long term
history of research and faculty

00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:48.920 align:middle line:84%
scholarship, and
so through those

00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:54.110 align:middle line:84%
are able to anchor student
experiences in really getting

00:01:54.110 --> 00:01:57.980 align:middle line:84%
an appreciation for the complex
nature of global health.

00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:00.364 align:middle line:84%
UVA has had a long
term relationship

00:02:00.364 --> 00:02:02.780 align:middle line:84%
with the Bluefields Indian and
Caribbean University, which

00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:05.870 align:middle line:84%
is located in Bluefields, which
is a coastal city in Nicaragua.

00:02:05.870 --> 00:02:08.690 align:middle line:84%
We offer our students two
particular opportunities

00:02:08.690 --> 00:02:11.240 align:middle line:84%
to engage in
Bluefields, Nicaragua.

00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.344 align:middle line:84%
One is our January
Term course, and then

00:02:13.344 --> 00:02:16.010 align:middle line:84%
the other opportunity within the
School of Nursing that we offer

00:02:16.010 --> 00:02:18.560 align:middle line:84%
is for our third year
nursing students who

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.300 align:middle line:84%
are in their community
public health

00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:26.240 align:middle line:84%
clinical rotation to have a
clinical experience focused

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.840 align:middle line:84%
on really understanding
nursing, how

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.840 align:middle line:84%
nurses are trained in Nicaragua,
what public health issues are

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.620 align:middle line:84%
that nursing students
identify there.

00:02:35.620 --> 00:02:41.240 align:middle line:84%
And really how to engage
respectfully and bilaterally

00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:43.280 align:middle line:90%
with those groups.

00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.650 align:middle line:84%
This year did something
different as well where we

00:02:45.650 --> 00:02:48.370 align:middle line:84%
had our students in the
same clinical rotation

00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:52.620 align:middle line:84%
have community site here at
Charlottesville as well as

00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:54.140 align:middle line:90%
the experience in Blue Fields.

00:02:54.140 --> 00:02:56.300 align:middle line:84%
And so that gave
them a rich ability

00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:59.330 align:middle line:84%
to understand more about
our home community,

00:02:59.330 --> 00:03:02.780 align:middle line:84%
but also really dig into some
of the complex global health

00:03:02.780 --> 00:03:05.882 align:middle line:84%
issues experienced by people
in Blue Fields, Nicaragua.

00:03:05.882 --> 00:03:07.340 align:middle line:84%
ANNIKA RHINEHART:
You know, I think

00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:10.999 align:middle line:84%
it's an incredible
experience to go abroad.

00:03:10.999 --> 00:03:12.290 align:middle line:90%
It doesn't matter where really.

00:03:12.290 --> 00:03:15.680 align:middle line:84%
But I think it was a unique
experience to go to Blue Fields

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:19.580 align:middle line:84%
and really see how the sense
of community was different

00:03:19.580 --> 00:03:22.010 align:middle line:84%
and how a lot of
the health problems

00:03:22.010 --> 00:03:23.750 align:middle line:84%
and difficulties
that people face

00:03:23.750 --> 00:03:26.310 align:middle line:84%
are very similar to
in the United States.

00:03:26.310 --> 00:03:28.790 align:middle line:84%
And I think that's
important to get

00:03:28.790 --> 00:03:33.320 align:middle line:84%
exposed to is the similarities
and differences and kind

00:03:33.320 --> 00:03:34.940 align:middle line:84%
of the challenges
that they face,

00:03:34.940 --> 00:03:38.330 align:middle line:84%
what kind of interventions
they have in their country

00:03:38.330 --> 00:03:42.205 align:middle line:84%
and in their community that we
can take back and learn from

00:03:42.205 --> 00:03:44.570 align:middle line:90%
and kind of implement here.

00:03:44.570 --> 00:03:47.090 align:middle line:84%
And then also kind
of that relationship

00:03:47.090 --> 00:03:48.680 align:middle line:84%
where we can give
them something,

00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:50.480 align:middle line:90%
they can teach us a lot as well.

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:53.970 align:middle line:84%
So I think this is a really
incredible, unique experience.

00:03:53.970 --> 00:03:58.929 align:middle line:84%
And I totally recommend it
to anyone who is considering.

00:03:58.929 --> 00:04:01.220 align:middle line:84%
NARRATOR: And thanks to the
Jefferson Trust Award Grant

00:04:01.220 --> 00:04:03.015 align:middle line:84%
more students will
be able to go.

00:04:03.015 --> 00:04:05.390 align:middle line:84%
PROFESSOR EMMA MITCHELL: We're
really excited that we now

00:04:05.390 --> 00:04:07.556 align:middle line:84%
have the support of the
Jefferson Trust Grant, which

00:04:07.556 --> 00:04:10.040 align:middle line:84%
is to allow us future
to really hone in

00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:13.464 align:middle line:84%
on this concept of
community resilience.

00:04:13.464 --> 00:04:15.130 align:middle line:84%
NARRATOR: It's just
another way that UVA

00:04:15.130 --> 00:04:18.079 align:middle line:84%
is enriching students'
experiences and their appetite

00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.760 align:middle line:90%
for global engagement.

are you guys ready for this?

00:04:23.749 --> 00:04:36.463 align:middle line:90%
We have shrimp and coconut rice.

00:04:36.463 --> 00:04:43.309 align:middle line:84%
These are fajitas,
and these are fajitas,

00:04:43.309 --> 00:04:48.710 align:middle line:84%
and we have the pico de
