Global health education in Chinese universities: Potential for collaboration with schools of nursing
Abstract
The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH) and the Chinese Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CCUGH) were established within public health schools in North America in 2009 and in China in 2013. These consortiums are mandated to engage a variety of complementary disciplines including those in the health sphere such as public health, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and nursing as well as those outside of the health arena, including law, environmental studies, business, anthropology, etc. Specifically, expanding the exposure of nursing students to global health curricula is critical as nurses are essential actors in the health care system: making up 80% of the global health workforce and providing 90% of health care worldwide. Although the Chinese Nursing Association officially became a member of the International Council of Nurses (ICN) in 2013, information related to existing global health education within CCUGH-affiliated universities and the current engagement of Chinese schools of nursing in global health remains extremely limited. The aim of this study is to identify and describe the current definitions and conceptualizations of global health education in Chinese universities, with a focus on Schools of Nursing. We will also explore potential synergies between existing global health initiatives and Schools of Nursing in China.
