Immersion Into Health Literacy: Common Mistakes and Correct Practices: The 360-degree Difference
About the Program
A team of nursing faculty developed two unique simulation products to aid nursing educators across the State of Michigan in implementing alternative clinical experiences. These educational materials aim to prepare nursing students to deliver culturally sensitive care by increasing awareness of social determinants of health and health literacy.
1. Evaluating patient/family/community level factors related to health equity and health literacy.
2. Developing effective communication strategies and nursing interventions that address low health literacy.
