Study Abroad in Russia
The Indiana University Bloomington Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures and the Indiana University/Purdue University Indianapolis School of Public and Environmental Affairs, in collaboration with Southern Federal University (SFU) in Rostov-on-Don, Russia present:
Spring - Summer 2009
U.S.-RUSSIA GLOBAL-HEALTH CARE COURSE STUDY PROGRAM
with 2-WEEK STUDY-ABROAD
All the program information (including the on-line application) can be found at
This program is open to undergraduate and graduate students.
Funding is available (on competitive basis) for students pursuing study abroad and/or language training under this program. Students applying for components #2 or #3 of the program will be automatically considered for language training stipend awards ($1,000, associated with component #2) and student mobility stipend awards ($4,000 associated with component #3) to support their participation in the U.S.-Russia Global-Health Care Course with 2-Week Study-Abroad (it is a common application to be considered for all funding). While the program is open to all IU students, only U.S. citizens and permanent residents are eligible for stipend awards. Students who complete both components #2 and #3 may receive a maximum award of
$5,000.
Although we anticipate that many students will complete at least two, if not all three components of the program, in the interest of flexibility we are not making any component a co-requisite or pre-requisite of the other. Instead, we will give priority in funding decisions to those students who are able to commit to multiple components of the program.
#1) Spring 2009: REEI-R 300 / REEI-R 500 Global Public Health Dialogue - 1 Credit
#2) Spring 2009: SLAV-S 498 /SLAV-S 540 Survival Russian - 3 credits
OR SLAV-S 498 /SLAV-S 540(second 8 weeks): Specialized Russian: Public Health Care –

Experience - 3 credit Study Abroad
REEI-R 300 / REEI-R 500 Global Public Health Dialogue:
Thursday 9:05a.m.-9:55a.m. (6 meetings total: 1/15/09 - 2/19/09)
This course will join students from Indiana University Bloomington, Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis, and Southern Federal University (Russia) via video conferencing. Participation in this class will serve as a basis for building bridges of understanding between students at the two universities and will provide a basic knowledge of health care delivery in
the two countries. The course is taught in English.
Students will watch a popular health care related show, such as ER (USA) and/or "Vrachebnyie Tainy - Medical Secrets" (Russia), and contrast and compare them. Discussions will focus on aspects of American and Russian culture and health care delivery by examining patient-physician
relationships, medical ethics in the workplace, information sharing, the role of medical technology, and others. The format allows for cross-national discussions via e-mail, in-class
face-to-face dialogs, and small group exercises with faculty assistance.
IU students taking the course (which will be available at the same time in Bloomington and Indianapolis via distance-learning) are eligible for scholarships to be used towards the cost of a trip to Rostov-on-Don, Russia (International Health Care Delivery: in-country Russian Field Experience). This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students.
SLAV-S 498 /540 Survival Russian – 3 credits or SLAV-S 498 /540 Specialized Russian: Public Health Care - 1.5 credits:
The Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures in Bloomington is offering two courses (entry-level and advanced), based on the Russian language skills needed for the participation in
International Health Care Delivery: in-country Russian Field Experience course. The language support will enable students to function successfully in a foreign language and culture environment while doing the field work in Rostov-on-Don, Russia. Since participating students from IU Bloomington and IU Indianapolis campuses may have limited or various prior exposure to Russian, two levels of Russian training in the areas of language and culture are offered. Students who take either of these levels of Russian (which will be available both in Bloomington and Indianapolis via distance-learning) are eligible for scholarships towards the cost of the trip to Rostov-on-Don, Russia.
Survival Russian (entry-level):
MWF 50min each class time of class: 12:20 - 1:10p.m.
This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students. The goal of the intensive Russian survival course is to acquaint the students with the basic grammatical structures of Russian along with sufficient vocabulary for a working introduction to the language. The focus of the course will be on the development of oral skills, with written work used for reinforcement. Homework will be devoted largely to repetition and reinforcement while class time, even from the beginning, will be devoted almost entirely to active practice. Listening and reading comprehension will be addressed through special materials, which will also serve as a basis for discussion and oral practice. Readings will introduce aspects of everyday Russian life, figures,
events, and issues that are crucial to an understanding of Russian culture.
Specialized Russian: Public Health Care (advanced-level) (second 8 weeks):
T R 60min each class time of class: 2:30pm - 3:30pm
Prerequisites: SLAV-R 302 or the instructor's permission. This course is open to undergraduate and graduate students.

Cultural training will
prepare the participants for successful interaction in social and academic situations in Russia.
