Abstract
For a number of years, faculty and students from the University of Iowa have been providing services to orphans in China. To improve sustainability, the effort was increased to also include training to hospital and orphanage staff as well. It became clear that the scope of our tasks and the amount of preparation for the students involved was exceeding what we could fit into the spare time of the typical graduate student and the mentor-of the-year. With the onset of a second humanitarian project—demanding similar training preparation and planning—a course was developed to better prepare the students for both the upcoming trips, as well as a lifetime of international collaboration and reciprocity. Funded entirely by student/faculty fundraising efforts (and personal resources), our commitment to global teaching and service is a strong one.
