The Netherlands Experience

HPA 499: The Netherlands Experience is an embedded course designed to provide students with an opportunity to experience another culture and learn how healthcare is delivered in the Netherlands. The Netherlands was recently ranked one of the top three countries in healthcare based on care process, access, administrative efficiency, equity and health care outcomes, (Schneider, Sarnak, Squirres, Shah, & Doty, 2017). Likewise, the Netherlands gained national recognition for their innovative care of older adults, including dementia care.
