Partnering for Professional Development in the Galápagos Islands
Abstract:
Nurses living in the Galápagos Islands face barriers to accessing continuing professional development (CPD), particularly in their native language and appropriate for their unique island culture due to their remote location, 1,000 km off the coast of Ecuador. This article reviews the evidence on providing professional development from high-resource countries to low-resource countries; describes a case example of the process of developing, implementing, and evaluating the first professional development program targeting nurses in the Galápagos; and presents recommendations to sustain a culturally relevant international professional nursing development partnership that can be a model for nurses in other remote locations with limited educational access. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2019;50(9):417-422.].
