AbstractNurses care for an increasingly diverse ethnic population, but nursing education may not always include the necessary global learning components necessary for students to provide the most culturally appropriate and patient-centered care. Although much of the literature already attends to the importance of international experiences, this article focuses on an initiative to develop an on-campus global curriculum in a school of nursing. Through a global framework informed by a literature review and surveys of faculty and courses, a task force delivered two faculty workshops. The first focused on cultural self-awareness and cultural competence development in both faculty and students. The second workshop focused on how to incorporate a global learning objective into course syllabi. This article discusses the goals, format, and outcomes of each workshop, highlighting the importance of faculty development and the implications for other institutions to pursue this type of initiative.Copyright 2014, SLACK Incorporated.
