Integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Training in Graduate Nursing Curriculum

Faculty in graduate nursing programs are being tasked with increasing content on diversity, equity, and inclusion into the curriculum. Previous experiences with health care, cultural bias, as well as societal events impact how health care is perceived by patients. Instilling the necessity for cultural humility into the curriculum is necessary to prepare nurse practitioners to deliver culturally appropriate care and reduce health care disparities. Focused foundational training on implicit biases, cultural awareness, important cultural terms, inclusive environments, and bystander intervention is an essential step to thread these concepts throughout the curriculum.
