How Can Nursing Education Address Healthcare Inequities?
Nursing education programs can incorporate several strategies to prepare nurses to tackle healthcare inequities:
- Curriculum Development: Integrating courses on health disparities, social determinants of health, and cultural competence. - Clinical Rotations: Offering clinical experiences in diverse and underserved settings to expose students to a variety of patient populations. - Continuing Education: Providing ongoing education opportunities focused on health equity and advocacy. - Mentorship Programs: Establishing mentorship programs that support minority nursing students and promote diversity within the nursing workforce.
