Background:
Ten years ago, Columbia University School of Nursing (CUSON) started to transform its nursing curriculum to include global health equity to prepare future nurses for escalating rates of health problems caused by wars, forced migration, and climate change.
Method:
A course for entering students examines health disparities worldwide and within the United States with nursing intervention examples. Global Students Clinical Program offers students 6 weeks to learn and practice under the leadership of nurses and midwives in primarily Global South sites, engaging with 20 sites worldwide. With reciprocity as the foundation, host institutions determine collaborations to build, such as simulation learning, research, and curriculum development.
Results:
Evaluations from host sites and participating students confirm increased knowledge, skills, and understanding of global health issues.
Conclusion:
CUSON urges other nursing institutions to expand their programs didactically and clinically within a global health equity framework for future nurses to provide care and leadership that these challenging times demand.
