The student and faculty exchange programs at the University of Miami School of Nursing and Health Studies (SONHS) are a core component of our WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing Human Resources Development and Patient Safety.

Student Exchange
University of Miami Nursing and Health Studies students participate in “mini-mesters” in diverse locales including Chile, Haiti, Mexico, and Spain providing them with an invaluable global perspective on healthcare delivery.  As part of the student exchange, UM SONHS receives visiting students from Chile, Mexico, Spain, and Taiwan.  Visiting students attend clinical rotations at local hospitals and participate in simulation sessions at the cutting edge UM SONHS International Academy for Clinical Simulation and Research.  See our Global Partnerships page for a list of the universities that take part in this exciting program.

Faculty Exchange
In the spirit of scholarly interchange, UM SONHS has hosted international faculty from Universidad Tecnológica San Antonio de Machala (Ecuador), Universidade de São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto (Brazil), Universidad de Valparaíso (Chile), and Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas (Mexico).  UM SONHS Faculty and staff work regularly with visiting faculty on the integration of clinical simulation scenarios into academic curricula.
