UI Students Receive Pain Management, End-of-Life Training Abroad

Travel with Dr. Stephanie Gilbertson-White to Trivandrum, India—a city located in the Southern tip of the country—where she teaches a three-week course titled “Hospice, Pain and Palliative Care.”

Each year, Dr. Gilbertson-White travels with students from the College of Nursing, as well as other University of Iowa Health Science students, and her team works alongside staff from Pallium India, a nongovernmental, nonprofit hospice organization. Six days a week, Pallium provides care for many of India’s poorest citizens. Part of their service includes home visits, which Dr. Gilbertson-White and her students assist with during their three-week journey.
