Samenvatting
As the COVID-19 pandemic prevented planned international travel opportunities for students and faculty, faculty at three
universities from three professions created a four-day innovative, online learning experience. Each session included
presentations from each country, small-group discussions, and evaluation. The topics appealed to students regardless of
profession or nationality. Daily evaluations showed attendees valued the experience. The benefits of international and
interprofessional learning were evident; students gained better understanding of other professions and health care systems
through sessions that expanded their thinking. International appreciation and learning can be prioritized without physical travel.
