Training & Development Opportunities
The Wisconsin Express
Wisconsin Express aims to introduce issues that new health care professionals may encounter as they begin practicing in an increasingly diverse society. The content and topics aim to help students begin to think about how they will interact with other professions, the health care system and a social climate in which significant disparities exist among various populations.
Wisconsin Express 2007 is a cultural and interprofessional immersion experience. It is not a clinical training program. Student activities will not include any direct provision of medical or health care.
Information about the Wisconsin Express is now available via their new website http://wisc-ahec.typepad.com/2007wiexpress/
