The University of Michigan-Flint (UM-F) in partnership with Madonna University, and with the support of the Transcultural Nursing
Society and other organizations with missions that focus on developing cultural competencies, will provide online and face-to-face
educational offerings for nurses to enhance their cognitive, affective, and psychomotor cultural competencies and develop their skills in
addressing individuals, groups, and communities that are diverse, with special emphasis on those at risk for health disparities. A series
of educational offerings focused on developing cultural competencies using a train-the-trainer model will be provided. Faculty will
include some of the foremost transcultural nursing leaders in the nation including authors of textbooks on the subject and other nursing
experts on cultural competence.
A culturally competent nursing and health care workforce is needed to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and choices that will reduce,
and ultimately eliminate, health disparities. The focus of the educational offerings will be on the relationship between nurses’ cultural
competencies and the reduction or elimination of health disparities across the life span from infancy to old age. Special emphasis will be
given to the following Healthy People 2010 risk factors and health disparities: obesity, depression, low birth weight infants, diabetes
mellitus, hypertension, HIV/AIDS, and cancer. The project also will prepare nurses to become Certified Transcultural Nurses (CTN) and
will provide extensive online, print, and audiovisual resources on cultural competence and health disparities. For more information:
