Global Health Nursing offers students the opportunity to examine health and nursing issues that affect the global community, ranging from communicable and non-communicable disease around the world to concerns of diverse populations living in the United States. This elective course and service-learning experience focuses on population health, cultural awareness, social justice, and health disparities, partnering with community clinics and organizations to address the health needs of a particular country or region.
