Global Nursing Office

The Global Nursing Office collaborates with students and faculty to build capacity by providing leadership in globally-minded nursing education, research and service; promoting international, national and local mobility and outreach; and fostering the development of global citizenship.

The Aboriginal Nursing Initiative engages students and faculty in local and national community projects and partnerships that promote the health of First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. Our aim is to integrate Indigenous knowledge and resources into curriculum by consulting, where possible, with local knowledge holders and Aboriginal Organizations.

The office serves as a resource for visiting scholars, international and Indigenous students and faculty.
