An international educational program that engages students in healthcare in another culture is a wonderful way to immerse students in diversity issues. However, developing these types of international programs are challenging for many reasons. It takes a great deal of time, financial resources, and ongoing commitment from all involved. Even with the known benefits of developing international educational partnerships many nursing programs lack the personnel and/or financial resources to develop and/or to sustain these programs overtime. By partnering with other universities and local hospitals extra financial and personnel resources become available to develop and help sustain these international educational programs.
一个让学生参与另一种文化背景下医疗保健的国际教育项目，是使学生深入了解多样性问题的绝佳方式。然而，由于多种原因，开发这类国际项目具有挑战性。这需要大量时间、财政资源以及所有相关方持续的投入。即便深知发展国际教育伙伴关系有诸多益处，但许多护理项目仍缺乏开发和/或长期维持这些项目所需的人员和/或财政资源。通过与其他大学及当地医院合作，可获得额外的财政和人员资源，以开发并帮助维持这些国际教育项目。
