This Global Learning Experience gave me invaluable perspective on the US American healthcare system. International comparators are essential to identifying areas for domestic improvement, contextualizing the money we spend on healthcare, and qualifying the outcomes we achieve. This experience offered meaningful interdisciplinary exchange with diverse nursing colleagues including BSN , MSN, DNP, and PhD students in addition to CON faculty. The "hidden curriculum" of our ongoing conversations throughout the trip has given me important insights and indelible impressions about how I could contribute to practice transformation in this country. I am deeply grateful for this unforgettable opportunity.
