ST. LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, August 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Students from the Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS) program at Tiber Health partner universities—including Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS), Jacksonville University (JU) and Ponce Health Sciences University (PHSU) recently returned from a transformative global health mission in Belize.

This weeklong experience united MSMS students from across the Tiber Health Network in providing hands-on clinical care, community health education, and cultural exchange while learning firsthand the challenges and opportunities of delivering care in underserved rural communities.

The students were able to apply the medical knowledge gained throughout the MSMS program during time spent in rural health clinics, home visits and a city hospital. The mission, supported by local leaders, Tiber Health and the Global Health ImPAct organization, offered the opportunity to assist with essential medical support and educational outreach to communities throughout the region
