• A special interest group (SIG) related to the effects of migration on our local communities.
• A white paper to outline a TCNS position on response to human migration at our borders.
• Collaboration among TCNS members to develop guidelines and outcome measures for nurses to provide care for migrants/refugees/asylees.
• Sharing ideas and knowledge of ways to address the global crisis of human migration (advocacy, services, programs).

The Transcultural Nursing Society is proud to announce a ✨Population Health Course✨ created by the Scholars Education Interest Group! The Scholars Education Interest Group was formed in 2020 to address the integration of population health, social determinants and social justice in Transcultural Nursing and culturally competent care. The group published a white paper (Pacquiao et al., 2023) articulating the rationale for this initiative and proposed recommendations for incorporating these topics in TCN education, research and practice.

Using the AACN toolkit on Social Determinants of Health as a guide, the group developed two course syllabi on Population Health for a one-semester offering and a modular syllabus for flexible adaptation in existing courses. A comprehensive topical bibliography with books, book chapters, articles, website, and videos was compiled for faculty and students. The syllabi and bibliographic sources are suggested template for users. They should be adapted to your local curricular offerings and setting specific context. For international members, modify the content to reflect your own context. Use terms, sample policies, data sources, etc. specific to your country and curricula. The sample learning activities should be selected and modified to suit your own curricula and setting. We encourage our TCNS members to download the documents and determine relevant implementation in their own setting. Please, share your experiences in using the syllabi and bibliography in terms of lessons learned in implementing and evaluating the course outcomes. Email your feedback to [email protected].
