Purpose

With CAPABLE, we attempt developing our health care systems through internationalization. Internationalization contributes to global perspectives among students. These perspectives shape inclusive ideas and encourage creativity. Such ideas and creativity may stimulate transformation of the health care systems.

Project description

The main goals of CAPABLE are:

  • Establish a sustainable program for student-exchange at both undergraduate and graduate level
  • Increase mobility of bachelors, masters, and PhD students between UNMC and Norway
  • Improve knowledge and understanding of a variety of healthcare systems, global health issues, and the impact of community-academic partnerships

Participants

Funding

The project has received support from the Norwegian HK-dir.
