Abstract

Post-secondary programs in health are strengthened when curricula and experiences are internationalized. Internationalization encourages students to think, advocate and practice globally; thus, preparing graduates to contribute to health beyond geo-political borders. However, designing and supporting international experiences in undergraduate health curricula can be challenging due to time and resource constraints, costs, language barriers, and collaborative processes within and across organizations; thus, internationalization is not easily achieved. The purpose of this report is to describe an initiative aimed at supporting undergraduate nursing student experiences in an international partnership program between a Brazilian and Canadian university. First, we describe the project. Second, we present the context of the two partnering undergraduate nursing programs and their respective communities. Third, students from each school describe their experiences with the initiative. Fourth, we integrate our experiences with literature to offer three lessons for moving forward using a framework of resource allocation, fair trade learning, and decolonized competencies. Our report is timely as worldwide, universities are eager to build collaborative partnerships with stakeholders to implement internationalization within curricula. Such partnerships can help students learn about health-related experiences for populations living in distinctive social inequality and inequities in accessing health services.
加拿大大学与巴西大学之间的国际伙伴关系:描述性报告
当课程和经验国际化时,卫生领域的中学后课程就会得到加强。国际化鼓励学生在全球范围内思考、倡导和实践,从而培养毕业生为超越地理政治边界的健康事业做出贡献。然而,由于时间和资源限制、成本、语言障碍以及组织内部和组织之间的合作过程,在本科卫生课程中设计和支持国际经验可能具有挑战性;因此,国际化并不容易实现。本报告旨在介绍一项旨在支持护理本科生体验巴西和加拿大大学之间的国际合作项目的举措。首先,我们介绍该项目。其次,我们介绍了两个合作的本科护理项目及其各自社区的背景。第三,来自两所学校的学生介绍了他们参与该项目的经历。第四,我们将我们的经验与文献相结合,提出了利用资源分配、公平贸易学习和非殖民化能力框架向前迈进的三条经验。我们的报告非常及时,因为全世界的大学都渴望与利益相关者建立合作关系,在课程中实施国际化。这种合作关系可以帮助学生了解生活在明显的社会不平等和获得医疗服务不公平环境中的人群的健康相关经验。
