Summary
This presentation explores how participation in a global medical mission trip to Antigua, Guatemala began shaping students’ professional identity formation through the development of cultural humility. Through patient and team experiences, students will reflect on what they learned about communication, respect, responsiveness, and their emerging roles in healthcare and service. This session offers an early look at how immersive global experiences can influence both who students are becoming and how they learn to approach others.
