“…Similarly, Moores and Popadiuk (2011) found that more in-depth preparation benefits transitioning students. When the student's awareness about the host culture is augmented, they are more equipped to handle the challenges in the host country (DuBose, 2017;Moores & Popadiuk, 2011).…”

Currently, over 196,271 Indian international students are attending American colleges and universities. These students, similar to other ethnic minority student populations, encounter various challenges while studying overseas. This article focuses on two central questions, (1) How do individual factors (e.g., personality traits) of Indian international students aid in their adjustment in the U.S? (2) Can these individual factors be acquired? Seven Indian international students currently studying in a U.S. university were interviewed. Data were analyzed using phenomenological methodology. The findings identified ten individual themes that aided in adjustment and reported how these factors can be acquired by adapting certain cognitive and behavioral aspects. This study reflects the limitations, implications, and future research.

“…The literature has identified communication, cultural differences, and discrimination as challenges experienced by international students in general and specifically by those studying in the United States. [40][41][42][43] Thus, collaborative experiences should address such challenges to ensure a successful social and academic experience during the time the students stay in the host country. Support from peers, instructors, and the university are key to helping the students adjust during their stay.…”

“…Visiting students should be trained to be tactful when communicating with faculty members, preceptors, and health care providers so as not to disturb the established hierarchy in a negative way, and to act professionally when providing opinions or questioning authority. 43,60,61 Both cultural and academic differences may potentially lead to hosts forming negative stereotypes about the students prior to, during, or after the experience. This may be because they have general stereotypes or bias about a certain group of students, students' ethnic or religious background, or their respective country of origin.…”

Global engagement between schools and colleges of pharmacy in the United States and many regions of the world is increasing. For an enriching and fruitful interaction, sensitivity toward the cultural, ethical, educational, religious, historical, political, regulatory, and practice issues is critical. Lack of sensitivity may negatively impact engagement among students, professionals and other people from different regions of the world. In this special issue, eight papers will introduce general information about five regions of the world that have established and increased global engagements with institutions in the United States: Africa, the Arab world, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America. In addition, the special issue will include a paper with key information related to global engagement within the United States. For each paper, the specifics provided about the selected countries include: demographics, culture, climate, pharmacy education, and health care systems, as well as common stereotypes and misconceptions held by and about the people of the country. Further, recommendations for pharmacists and other health care professionals on culturally sensitive engagement will be emphasized. Finally, recommendations for culturally sensitive engagement when US schools are hosting students and faculty members from those regions will be summarized. The papers are based on literature reviews of databases from 2000 to 2018 and internet searches with specific keywords or terms, such as cultural sensitivity, global, pharmacy, stereotypes, and ethics. Additional keywords are identified in individual papers on specific regions. Authors for each paper consist of practitioners with experience in travelling to and hosting students and professionals from the regions; practitioners with local work experience, and professionals from each region. The special issue is intended to serve as a resource for US schools and colleges of pharmacy currently engaged in or considering future outreach opportunities in these regions, and for those seeking opportunities in the United States. The special issue will provide key information to facilitate culturally sensitive engagement in existing or future relationships.

This paper explores promising teaching practices for teaching linguistically and culturally diverse international students by identifying the teaching practices that have high levels of international student satisfaction and student perceptions of learning. Data were collected through an online survey at a mid-sized Canadian public comprehensive university. Variability of student satisfaction by individual student characteristics (e.g., level of study, year of study, age, gender, field of study, country of origin, length of time studying outside country of origin, parents' educational level, and study location) is presented. Recommendations for professional practice are discussed along with potential areas for further research.2.1.1. Gender. D'Allegro, and Dickinson [10] stated that there are differences in the way male and female students absorb new content. They found that male and female students have preferences for doing research and testing out
