Abstract:
This qualitative study described the experience of undergraduates in an international immersion experience designed to foster health promotion among rural Ghanaians. Data in the form of students' reflective writings were analyzed in a rigorous process of literal, interpretive, and reflective readings. Two themes (character building and feeling inspired by others) emerged from the data. The findings suggest that this immersion trip facilitated the transformation of the participants and the development of their cultural competence.
