The Public Health Significance of Racism
2021-04-06 18:30 - 20:00 (America/Chicago)
Dr. Thomas A. LaVeist, an international expert, will show his new documentary “The Skin You Are In”, speak and take questions. African Americans suffer from health disparities in all of the top diseases. It is critically important to continue the dialogue on the health effects of racism and to explore solutions that can be applied.
The goal of the event is to engage the health workforce (health department workers, nurses, doctors, and other frontline workers) in discussion and thinking about equity through the lens of race. While there is extensive data around racism and equity, changing the systems and practices has not been achieved. This event is organized by RH3, a collaborative science initiative on Racism and Health (RH) that includes members from UWM, City of Milwaukee, and Milwaukee County (the 3).
Our mission is to connect knowledge and action toward eliminating the influence of racism on health and equity. Team members are deeply engaged in the community and value working with/learning from the broader health workforce through shared experience and feedback around making changes needed to de-link racism and health.
Location
This event will be held virtual via Zoom. Upon registration, you will receive login instructions.

HELP! What Do All These Strangg De Words Actually MEAN? Tips for Breakinown Medical Terminology, for Nurses (Each Session Has New Content)
2022-09-26 18:00 - 18:30, 2022-10-10 18:00 - 18:30, 2022-11-07 18:00 - 18:30
New content each session!

Learning and Studying in Nursing School is almost like learning a new language – new phrases, words, prefixes, suffixes you’ve never really used or thought about before… the list goes on. This short workshop provides a basic guide (and some great resources to put in your back pocket!) to some of the most common of these that you will come across in your Nursing School journey. Each session will also bring new words to the table to learn together. Exams are hard enough – let’s take some of the difficulty out of it by getting a grip on the medical terminology!

RN to BSN Competency-Based Education (UW Flex Option) Capstone Information Session
2022-09-28 08:00 - 09:00
In the UWM RN-BSN Program, at the program’s end, students take a capstone course where they are placed in your facilities for a non-direct patient care experience to improve comprehensive nursing care through where they are employed. We are excited to inform you of a curriculum innovation we are implementing in Fall 2022 for the students in the UW Flex Option (also known as RN-BSN Flex). Students in this mode will complete their capstone in a new, and now fully competency-based, way. The implication of this curriculum change is that UW Flex Option students will no longer require onboarding for a capstone experience, because student learning will occur over time within their place of employment as opportunities arise for your employees to engage in QI-related activities in their employee role. They will reflect on those experiences to demonstrate specific competencies within our curriculum.
We understand this change may generate questions so we wish to invite you to a live virtual event to share more details and answer your questions. Please register today.
