The overall goal of SeaCouver (so-called because the tour takes place in Seattle and Vancouver) is to provide participants with an opportunity to directly compare the American healthcare system with the Canadian system. Part of the tour is devoted to didactic teaching about the two healthcare systems at the University of Washington and the University of British Columbia. However, the truly unique aspect of SeaCouver occurs when medical students dressed in short white coats take to the streets of Seattle and Vancouver to interview local citizens about their perceptions of the two systems.
