Nursing in Pediatric Global Health: Care of the Sick Child in Low Resource Settings

Since 2018, GHI has worked with Nursing at CNH to offer a Global Health Workshop. The workshop has at its foundation the Emergency Triage Assessment and Training (ETAT) course and builds from there to train attendees in skills needed in global health work. While the annual workshop is geared specifically towards nursing in a global setting, many participants have found that the training has benefited their work here at CNH as well, working with a diverse international population of patients and families.

In 2022, we are thrilled to offer completely new content in the global health nursing workshop in a new, two session format.  The first session will be held on February 23rd, and the second session will come in early May, with the exact date to be determined.

In response to numerous requests for a cultural humility training, we are very pleased to be focusing our February workshop on cultural sensitivity. The first session of the day, led by Adrianna Rossel of Mary’s Center will be focused specifically on understanding the impact of immigration on children and families. The second session of the day will be a discussion centered on understanding the impact of culture on the work of clinical providers both locally and globally. Both sessions will aid providers in expanding their global health skill set for work in diverse settings either here at Children’s National or abroad.

All sessions will be held virtually on zoom.
