A Web-based, e-Visit simulation can be a useful learning experience for nurse practitioner students with knowledge gained that is transferable to real clinical situations. [J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(5):304-307.].

Background: The purpose of this project was to determine whether an international service-learning nurse-led clinic was a beneficial experience for nurse practitioner (NP) students in improving diagnostic and cultural confidence, skills acquisition, and cultural competence during a clinical practicum. Method: The sample consisted of 10 Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) students in various NP tracks during an international service-learning experience in Guatemala. A Likert survey was used for student evaluation of experience. An analytic grading rubric measured clinical and cultural performance. Results: Practice competency scores were high overall ( M = 3.36; SD = 0.664). All students increased their confidence in diagnostic abilities ( M = 4.89; SD = 0.422) and in caring for a culturally diverse population ( M = 4.89; SD = 0.333). Conclusion: An international service-learning nurse-led clinic used to complement clinical practice hours as a beneficial experience in assisting NP students in developing diagnostic and cultural confidence.
