Nurses across the world are central to pandemic response and prevention efforts. Yet challenges such as managing human resources, shortage of personal protective equipment, and the accompanying psychological stress and social stigma for affected health workers all pose new challenges for nursing education and practice.
This webinar, hosted by Columbia Global Centers | Mumbai, showcases how the use of simulation learning and other innovative practices in nursing education adopted by the Columbia University School of Nursing can help to build a robust health care system for coping with the recent coronavirus outbreak.
