Dr. Taylor has more than 14 years in health professions advising, and really enjoys this class because it exposes students to historical facts and opens their eyes to how much people had to overcome to be successful even though hardships. Dr. Taylor has taught Study USA for 3 years, and enjoys this class because it allows him to get the know the students on a personal level and understand how they want to contribute to the world of healthcare.
"This is a unique opportunity because it allows students to see what they learn in action. What they learn in this class will not be something they have to imagine; they will actually get to see it. I believe it will have a much bigger impact!"
