The United States is seeking to become more inclusive with health care coverage and to ensure coverage for all in the future.

• What do other countries do about health care?
• How does the health status of Americans compare with the health status of citizens of other countries?
• What can we learn from health care in other countries?
• What can America do to help others in need of health care services?

These and other questions are addressed in an innovative course/trip to another country. The trip and class occur each year during spring break. For 2011, Prague, the Czech Republic was our destination.

Recently Behnaz Chehrazi visited the Allied Health seminar offered by the Health Sciences & Services Department.  Ms. Chehrazi is a physicist from Iran who recently completed her master's degree in medical nuclide technique at Uppsala University in Sweden. She expects to pursue her doctorate in medical physics in the U.S. This field of study is generally understood to be part of radiologic sciences, a field for which a number of IU students are preparing.
