The master of science in nursing curriculum: integrating diversity content within an individual model's paradigm.

Abstract

Faculty can play an integral role in both facilitating success for diverse student groups and promoting diversity through experiential approaches. A willingness to evaluate your own teaching style for cultural biases is the first step. Once this is done, decide on the culture-general skills as well as the culture-specific skills that are essential for students within your area of specialization. With those outcomes in mind, you can design experiences to develop in students the appreciation of diversity, the skills to interact in a diverse world, and an awareness of the many issues of diversity that exist in our homes, communities, workplace, and society.
