Program Requirements
This concentration sets out to prepare students for the challenges of working with diverse populations in limited-resource environments with a philosophy stressing the importance of understanding the inherent power dynamics, equity issues, and ethical dilemmas that arise through this work. It is based on a belief that we have much to learn from one another. The (M.Sc.A.); Nursing (Non-Thesis) - Global Health Clinical Nurse Specialist provides students with global health content throughout their program of study, and students spend one semester taking clinical- and project-based courses in their final year in a global health placement site. This concentration is supported by the Global Health Committee of the Ingram School of Nursing. ‘Global Health Clinical Nurse Specialist’ is the concentration label for bachelor-prepared nurse students who complete Global Health studies.
