HLTH 8000 Examining Diversity in Nursing and Health Care
This course is designed to help students develop foundational insights regarding diversity as an all-inclusive concept with complex intersections. It will focus on the professional nurse as a multifaceted cultural being with a network of identities and group affiliations that serve as both resources and barriers in the development of effective and meaningful patient/family-provider interactions. The primary goals of this course involve identifying sources of difference, deconstructing sociopolitical hierarchies, and recognizing the strengths and challenges inherent in diverse societies. The course will emphasize inclusive leadership strategies for transforming care delivery systems across multiple health care contexts.
