"Costa Rica Global Learning Program has provided a unique and culturally diverse educational opportunity through their Virtual Internship Program. This experience has provided myself with an international experience that I otherwise would not have had the opportunity to be apart of throughout my nursing education. This virtual intern experience has opened my eyes and has given me a greater perspective and understanding relating to various aspects of healthcare, from an international perspective."

Elisha, Nursing Virtual Intern
