Abstract
Institutions of higher learning lacking curriculums in international health often fail to offer a course on the subject to their student bodies. In the interest of increasing academic challenge and multicultural understanding, these institutions should call upon their international students to design and provide such a course. In the process, new international students could become better oriented, while health education students planning to be in foreign settings could gain valuable knowledge. The process and exchange could be a valuable learning experience for all. A 1985 workshop at Ohio State University entitled "Health and Wellness in the Nigerian Community" offered a cross-cultural survey of health-related issues. Forty-one Nigerian students in the Nigerian Education Program and four Black American students discusses principles of high-level wellness, focusing upon personal and community health issues in the workshop. Differences and similarities between values and sociocultural settings were explored, with greater cross-cultural understanding emerging as the final result.
