2018 Jan 22

Alexa Golbus is is studying abroad in London, United Kingdom, as part of the Interim course: Britain's NHS: The Cost of Free Health Care. This course will focus on building a nuanced understanding of the National Health Service. Students will study how the NHS emerged from the gradual nationalization of health services during World Ware II, and how it has grown to become Europe's largest employer.

Interim permits students and professors to concentrate for the month of January on a single study project of his or her choosing. Interim projects are designed to move beyond traditional classroom courses and teaching methods, to consider important topics in relevant ways and places, to observe issues in action, to develop capacities for independent learning, and to encourage the responsible self-direction of educational development.
