International Scholars Program

       The University of Michigan School of Nursing receives requests to provide different kinds of non-degree training opportunities for international colleagues. Some of these requests come from governmental or international agencies such as the World Health organization, others come from institutions to accommodate their faculties, some come from senior faculty mentors to locate appropriate experiences for their doctoral students, and some come from individuals who are aiming to design meaningful ways to spend their sabbatical and study leave periods. The School of Nursing responds to such requests as a way of providing an important service to the international community. All relevant resources within the University are utilized to design an individualized program of study. When the focus of the visit involves advanced practice, we collaborate with colleagues from the University of Michigan Health System and medical center to provide these experiences to meet identified needs. For a fuller description, see the paper by Dr. Ketefian, Director of International Affairs.

Procedures and guidelines are in place for review of applications for both short-term and long-term training for visiting scholars. These are described as well.
