The STC International Outreach Initiative works to create sustainable solutions to help local communities in the long-term and hopes to create longitudinal relationships that allow a bi-directional sharing of information and ideas, particularly with regards to education, clinical care, and collegial support. The STC International Outreach Initiative will focus on education, research, and service through an interprofessional lens.
