Chaminade University School of Nursing in Honolulu, Hawaii sends another batch of students to Silliman University under its International Nursing Clinical Immersion Program and Service-Learning slated March 8 to April 11.
This year’s batch is composed of seven students: Jadamae Agoo, Janelle Lose, Genalyn Agustin, Hanna Curtius, Jaqueline Cano, Kimberly Culver and Sierra Carter. The team is led by their professor, Dr. Edna R. Magpantay-Monroe.
The exposure program of Chaminade in Silliman is already on its second year. It is administered by the Institute of Service-Learning and the College of Nursing, and has been tailored-fit to optimize exposure to local approaches to healthcare, alternative medicine and community service.
A growing number of academic institutions in Asia and the United States send their students to Silliman every year for service-learning. Chaminade is one of its newer partners.
Silliman is one of the few universities in the Philippines that have successfully institutionalized service-learning across its disciplines. It is also a Center of Excellence in Nursing Education as designated by the Commission on Higher Education.
