The UW School of Nursing has a particularly strong and active exchange relationship with Chiang Mai University in northern Thailand. CMU provides dormitory space and support for the BSN Thailand Study Abroad Program and invites a UW faculty visitor and students each summer. Visiting doctoral students and visiting faculty scholars from CMU Faculty of Nursing come to the UW each year for visits ranging from three months to a year. The Chiang Mai University Faculty of Nursing is particularly interested in developing collaborations among doctoral students at both schools.
