Abstract
This study presents thematic findings from a qualitative investigation with 10 university professors who instructed in multiple international settings. Perceived challenges, outcomes, and effective pedagogical tools of international instruction are presented. Principle instructional challenges included cultural influences in the classroom, communication, and the expected professorial role. Participants cited professional outcomes as an expanded awareness and understanding of complex global and cultural issues and a broadened repertoire of client scenarios, healing strategies, and cultural perceptions of illness. Included are four pedagogical tools cited as effective in international instruction.
