PROGRAM LEARNING OBJECTIVES
At the end of a Kambia Nursing Program, students will have strengthened their ability to:
Understand the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of common diseases identified in community clinics that utilize telemedical equipment.
Explain to the patient the proper use of medications, adverse drug reactions, and drug interactions of medications prescribed.
Educate patients and families on prevention of infectious and chronic diseases.
Analyze data to monitor health trends and identify health risk factors unique to a single rural community in a developing country.
TESTIMONIALS
Kylee Brown
Nursing Student at College of Saint Mary
“It was a life-changing and insightful experience that gave me a new perspective on life. Connecting with the communities and contributing to their needs showed me that true happiness can come from feeling loved and appreciated.
I’m returning home with a grateful heart and a completely renewed outlook on life.”
Dr. Tracey Toney
Associate Professor of Nursing at College of Saint Mary
“My experience with Kambia was truly amazing and life-changing. The warmth of the clinic staff and community made us feel at home, and serving approximately 800 people in just four days was an incredible experience.
What impacted me most was knowing that our presence helped provide free healthcare to people who may not otherwise have access. I’m grateful to have been part of such a meaningful journey and to have shared it with my students, friends, and alumni. My heart is full, and my cup is full.”
Sheila Kelley
Nursing Student at Elmira College
“The program was designed to impact communities, but it impacted me even more. It changed my perspective on underserved communities and gave me experiences and connections I will never forget.
The group I worked with became my family for the week, and I returned home with a deeper appreciation for the opportunities I have and a renewed perspective on life. “
Viktoriia Muminova
Nursing Student at Cuyahoga Community College
“I got an unforgettable experience, fantastic emotions and many new friends. This trip exceeded my expectations, because the program was very rich on events and structured, friendly representatives, our instructors tried to always be there to guide and help.”
Marceia Scruggs
Nursing Student at Governors State University
“I felt extremely prepared going into this Kambia Program in Ghana, as my professors and the Kambia associates were incredibly supportive and informative. You just have to visit and engage in this Kambia Program yourself to understand the full depth of the impact.
This experience made me realize that I want to pursue a career in healthcare and public health, continue traveling globally, and use real-life examples of what I’ve learned to make a difference. You will not walk away the same way that you entered Ghana.”
