IMCO: a full community immersion experience
Since 2014, the La Source School of Nursing, the Faculty of Biology and Medicine of the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and the Canton of Vaud Department of Youth, Sport and Culture, by way of the Department of Higher Education (DGES), have taken up the dual challenge of integrating nursing students in the IMCO community immersion project. The aim is to prepare the physicians and nurses of tomorrow to operate in a globalized context and to make interprofessional collaboration a part of their respective practices.
The IMCO concept
The project brings students to examine a community health issue in a foreign country from the point of view of medicine and nursing.
