International Health Education and the Health Education and Injury Prevention Course and Conference

摘要

This paper describes the ongoing efforts of three universities, the University of South Florida, the University of Cologne (Germany), and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, to work collaboratively to promote international health education and research. Through a formal inter-institutional faculty-student exchange agreement between two of the institutions (USF, UCG), inter-institutional faculty appointments (USF, UCG, SIU-C), partnering in collaborative course programming (USF, UCG, SIU-C), and the hosting of a mini-conference for participating faculty and students (UCG), these institutions are carrying out a rich experience to enhance professional preparation and continuing education for health educators.
