Description

This course will examine how nurses as patient advocates can continue to defend their patients against increased attacks on refugee and immigrant communities within and beyond our hospitals.

We will investigate the causes and consequences of this moment by looking at the connections between global migration and international crises including climate change and structural violence. We will then examine immigration as a social determinant of health that affects the lives of immigrant and refugee communities as well as public health overall. This course will conclude by exploring how nurses and worker-led movements can protect immigrant and refugee patients and communities and advance health and social justice.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Explain the relationship between public health outcomes and the international factors driving migration.
Examine how current attacks on refugee and immigrant communities are impacting health care access and outcomes.
Identify collective actions nurses can take to defend our patients and profession, and achieve health care justice.
