MKSA-Medical Knowledge for Service Abroad Test
Track participants must pass the Medical Knowledge for Service Abroad Test (MKSA), which is approximately 50 questions done online via Canvas. You must receive a passing score of at least 80% on this examination to be eligible to travel abroad. It must be taken, and passed, prior to departure.
To help you prepare for this exam we have provided a list of the GPEDS modules, which can be viewed at your convenience via canvas.umn.edu, that will be helpful to view prior to taking the exam. These lectures are recommended but not required if you feel you are adequately prepared to take the exam.
