Program Reviews:
Summer 2012 Participant
My favorite part was exploring so many different parts of Stockholm. By the end, I felt like I understood health care and social welfare system, but also the geography of the city and the culture of the people in it.

Jessica Katherine McDowell Sigar, Summer 2013 Participant
My favorite part of the program was the mixture of the culture and the education of healthcare throughout the entire program. Everyday and everything that we did was a learning experience. I learned so much living the experience than I would have ever learned from reading out of a book.

Summer 2013 Participant
My favorite part of the program was the interaction with all of the different health and social care representatives. The ability to ask them any questions about their system, and them having the knowledge to answer it, was priceless.
