Global Placements with Local Impact
Real Experience, Rooted in Real Communities
Mission University programs are offered in diverse settings across multiple continents—from urban hospitals to rural health clinics, refugee centers to community-based nonprofits. Each location is selected for its ability to provide meaningful, supervised learning experiences while meeting real public health needs. We match placements to students’ academic goals and each partner site’s capacity.
And because we offer customizable programs, new locations can be developed in collaboration with your university or service organization.
