Global Health Topics for Nurse Practitioners
NUR1138 explores global and local health challenges through a Primary Health Care (PHC) lens, with a focus on equity, health system organization, community engagement, and the evolving leadership and advocacy role of Nurse Practitioners (NPs). Through cultural safety, humility, critical analysis, team-based case work, and scholarly inquiry, students examine how micro-level clinical issues connect to broader structural, policy, and population health dynamics. Emphasizing justice, sustainability, and context-sensitive practice, the course supports students in applying PHC principles to assess real-world challenges and develop actionable, system-informed responses.
