The Need and Opportunity for Nursing Schools & Faculty to Engage in Local & State Coalitions
Webinar Description
Across the country, hundreds of community coalitions have formed to improve the health of their communities. Often led by community organizations, supported by local and national foundations and federal agencies, and with health departments and health systems as frequent partners, they have implemented programs to address the social determinants of health, and succeeded both in reducing preventable illness, and in establishing frameworks for further action. Schools of medicine have begun to partner with these coalitions, as are an increasing number of schools of public health, but thus far, schools of nursing are largely absent. Given the nursing profession's long history of engagement with communities, this apparent disconnect represents both a need and an opportunity for the nursing profession and schools of nursing.
Objectives
- Describe tools for learning about local coalitions
- Define the drivers of these coalitions
- Describe their rapid growth and types of activities
- Discuss opportunities for participation, and what learners and faculty describe as the benefits and challenges of participation
This webinar is funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Academic Partnerships to Improve Health.
