SIT Study Abroad: Madagascar: Traditional Medicine

This program provides a unique experience to dive into the Malagasy culture and the environment of Madagascar. The program offers hands on learning, cultural immersion with living with host families and Malagasy language learning, and new perspectives on global health. The program directors become like a family to you and provide tremendous amount of support and comfort. The host families are kind and welcome you with open arms into their lives/homes. This program will provide new ideas, passions, and new opportunities.

Overall, studying in Madagascar with SIT was one of the best decisions I've made. It is a really unique country, and I don't imagine my experience could be replicated anywhere else. I had very little exposure to international travel before this program, so being able to explore Madagascar with trusted locals and in group of American students made the experience far less intimidating. The program instructor, Nat Quansah is an incredible person and teacher. He is clearly very passionate about his work and fostering curiosity, compassion, and enthusiasm in his students.
