Delivering on Our Promises: Tools for Nursing Advocacy in Global Health
The Global Nursing Caucus Conference will be held on October 31st and November 1st at UMass Boston, Boston MA. Join us to learn about initiatives that reflect the growing impact of nurses in global health and learn about tools to promote nursing advocacy locally and globally. It is going to be a very exciting time, with virtual and in-person participants from Haiti, Oman, Rwanda, Kenya, Mexico, and the US. This is a wonderful opportunity for clinicians and students to interact with some of the region’s leaders in global health. Nursing leadership from the Peace Corps, Johns Hopkins University, Clinton Global Health Initiative, Boston University, Partners in Health and the Brigham and Massachusetts General Hospital Global Health programs will all be represented at the conference. A great chance to network for clinicians, faculty and students who are interested in global health practice and research.
