 Clinical education in another country offers a unique multicultural perspective! The DiSepio Institute for Rural Health and Wellness grants two travel/study scholarships annually to support international clinical experience. Students need not speak the language of the host country, although some language preparation will be offered as part of the orientation program. Participating students will be assigned Clinical Instructors who speak English and will be able to document in English.

Currently, students are hosted by Fondazione F. Turati in Gavinana in the province of Tuscany, Italy. Fondazione Turati is one of Italy's leading rehabilitation and long-term care centers.
