After that, the students will construct a single-page flyer/infographic that would be “hypothetically” used to entice people to visit that country for health services. Here are the recommended steps that should be followed for a full credit to be considered:

1. After the country is selected, research why that country is known for medical tourism. We recommend students find this information using Google ScholarLinks to an external site. or getting help from the FIU libraryLinks to an external site..
2. Use that information as inspiration to draft a flyer/infographic.
   1. Students are not required to purchase any software for this. However, the output must be original. Open source and stock images online can be combined to create a new output, but students are not just allowed to download a photo and submit it as if it is their own work.
   2. We recommend using tools like CanvaLinks to an external site.. The student might already possess some design software and skills; they can use that. The important thing is that the output is original and can be easily viewable on this assignment’s discussion board.
3. Explain why the country was selected and the different elements of the flier that uniquely represent the country as it relates to medical tourism. This should be grammatically correct, and it should be at least 150 words (but can be more).
4. Upload the flier and explanation to this assignment’s discussion thread by Thursday -June 12 (day 4). Fliers, that are not uploaded by the deadline will receive an automatic 10-point deduction.
5. Review all the submissions.
6. In the quizzes area, complete the survey indicating which of your peers made a flier that you enjoyed the most by no later than Sunday -June 15 (day 7). Students who do not vote (or vote for themselves) will receive an automatic 10-point deduction on this assignment.
   1. The three students with the most votes will be awarded some extra credit for this assignment.
      1. First place: 12 points
      2. Second place: 9 points
      3. Third place: 7 points
