Philosophy

The guiding philosophy of the LCCIN is reflective of the work of Mrs. Lillian Carter as both nurse and social activist. The LCCIN focuses on enabling nurses to address key health problems and issues of underserved peoples. All educational programs strive to adopt a "service-learning" focus, aiming at education that is engaged in addressing the real challenges and issues of international health using a nursing framework. The overall philosophy reflects an understanding of the multiple factors that determine health and the need for a strong public health orientation in all of its work.
