Program Reviews:
Howard Trey Wolf, Summer 2017 Participant
Finding out how similar the two cultures were was earth shattering in the most pleasant way possible. If you are outside looking in it's quite apparent that Sweden differs greatly from the US, but after a few lectures concerning Swedish history and culture (especially by Lindholm) my perspective changed on a lot of preconceived notions that I held prior to the trip.

Grant Matthew Miller, Summer 2012 Participant
I really enjoyed the appointments. Learning directly from the people that provide the health care or social services was very beneficial. They are so welcoming and happy to speak about what they do. Stockholm is an amazing city as well, expensive, but amazing.

Jessica Katherine McDowell Sigar, Summer 2013 Participant
What would be helpful for future students to know about this program is that is beneficial to many people who are wanting to go into healthcare management and future physicians. Great eye opening experience for future policy, management and physicians. I learned that every healthcare system has it positives and negatives and to achieve the best system we must figure out to combine the best features of as many systems as possible to make them fit into one system. That would be an ideal state.
