Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic forced nursing faculty to transform an international study abroad service-learning course into a virtual community health clinical experience with a global focus. The course was piloted with seven students who would have completed their community health clinical during a short-term immersion trip to Kenya. Clinical assignments were changed to closely mirror the immersion service-learning experience in a virtual environment. Student feedback reflected positive learning outcomes. This transformation has implications for expanding student opportunities in the virtual environment to gain a deeper understanding of global health.
