Abstract
While much research has focused on international differences in healthcare in terms of costs to the system, healthcare quality, and health outcomes, there are many cultural factors that have a significant impact on health behaviors and treatment. This presentation will discuss cross-cultural healthcare of various healthcare systems examined through a study abroad program. A specific case example of the comparison of emergency medical services in various countries will be presented.
