I am a health occupations teacher and I am working on an educational grant so I may travel to Europe. I had exchange students from Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Brussels, and Tallin in the past, so I prefer those cities so I might drop in on them for a visit. My question is does anyone know of health occupation schools (ex:nursing schools, dental schools, EMT training centers), pharmaceutical or medical equipment, hospitals, research laboratories, blood banks or medical museums that I might tour? There is a grant to travel if I can create an agenda around my subject teaching area.

In Bruges there's the Memling Museum, which houses not only Hans Memling's art but also medieval medical tools. The museum is in the former St. John's Hospital. Here's a link with more information: http://www.brugge.be/internet/en/musea/Hospitaalmuseum/index.htm.

Marguerite The wonderful tool Google on the Internet can be your friend. I could do it for you but then I'd have to type all the results in. Try googling the name of each town with each of the terms you are searching for in the language of each country. If you don't know the translation you can try translate.google.com and translate into dozens of languages.
