Abstract
The academic objectives for the Global Health nursing course were met and exceeded. Students had didactic courses that accompanied their international experience to enhance their knowledge and understanding of global health principles. Students successfully completed these accompanying nursing courses and had life changing opportunities working with the leprosy-afflicted in India. Students applied their nursing knowledge and skills and learned greater cultural competency in caring for culturally diverse populations.
