Global Health Nursing explores the diverse and interconnected factors influencing health and healthcare delivery on a global scale. This course examines the roles and responsibilities of nurses in promoting health equity, preventing disease, and responding to health challenges within resource-limited and cross-cultural contexts. Emphasizing the social determinants of health, students will analyze the impact of globalization, migration, emerging health threats, and policies on population health. Through case studies and current issues, learners will develop skills in advocacy, culturally competent care, and collaboration within interdisciplinary global health initiatives, preparing them to contribute effectively to global health improvement and humanitarian efforts.
