The demographic characteristics of the United States are rapidly changing as the nation becomes more culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse.  In light of these changes, it is increasingly important that health care professionals develop cultural competence and understanding. Study abroad experiences can help students learn first-hand about other cultures and can promote the development of enhanced cultural sensitivity and competence.  Although there are many advantages and benefits of study-abroad experiences, these experiences also present unique challenges for both students and faculty.  This article presents a description of a 3-credit elective study abroad course that was offered for graduate or undergraduate credit in the summer of 2003 in Guatemala, including  a description of course objectives, the process of planning and implementing the course from the facultys perspective, and one students perceptions of her study abroad experience.
