BACKGROUND

The "Through the Eyes of ..." Program is an immersive learning program focused on improving cultural humility, empathy, and implicit bias awareness among nursing students and community staff and volunteers working with underserved populations, including elderly adults, unhoused persons, and differently-abled people that are ethnically and socioeconomically diverse.

Created by nursing faculty at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor and Flint, this immersive learning program incorporates innovative modalities into Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, including 360-videos, case-based discussions, and directed self-reflections. Learners will have the opportunity to use case-based discussions to consider effective, culturally humble ways to provide nursing care to an underserved population in the community setting. Directed self-reflections throughout the program will allow for space to consider the impact of implicit bias and other personal values and beliefs that can impact the care given to underserved populations.

The Facilitator's Guide has been developed to provide the foundational training required to maximize student learning in the topics and issues addressed by this Program. It contains 5 different scenarios, each with their own instructor guide, student worksheet, video link, and additional learning resources.
