The graduate program discussants will present new and innovative programs on communication and interprofessional collaboration, grant writing,and developing workshops for returning veterans enrolled in nursing programs; while the innovative programs for aggregate groups range from research on mortality rates of survivors of childhood cancer, to TB compliance in low income populations, to improving the use of cookstoves in Nicaragua, to cross boarder coalitions to develop collaborative responses to disasters.
Session Objectives: Participants will: 1. Describe one innovative educational course for graduate community health nursing students. 2.
