Africa
(Nigeria, West Africa - population: 113.8 million; Tanzania, East Africa - population 30.6 million; and Kenya, East Africa - population 28.3 million)
During the months of May, June and July, students are given the opportunity to travel and study more extensively by taking credit courses in the subjects of maternity and women's health nursing, pediatric nursing and community health nursing while living in an African country such as Nigeria, Tanzania or Kenya. These trips begin with a three-week course of theoretical classroom work at Harding University. Students then leave for a clinical experience in the selected country. During the summers of 1999 and 2000, students worked and studied at Nigerian Christian Hospital (NCH) in Nigeria, West Africa, gaining valuable mission experience while delivering babies, teaching preventive health care, and promoting health through the hospital's Community Health Outreach Program (CHOP). CHOP was originally created and implemented by Patti Woods Wilson, a 1977 School of nursing alumni.
