Overview
The International Academic Enrichment Program (IAEP) is
designed to provide visiting professional nurses and midwives
with an academic professional development experience in
a renowned university and school of nursing, based on
individual goals and objectives. The goal of the program
is to promote mutual cultural and professional enrichment.
This goal is attained through exchange of knowledge, experience,
and interactions with Penn faculty and staff. The academic
dimension of the program is based on the stated goals
and objectives of the professional visitor.
