The University of British Columbia Okanagan is introducing two nursing-focused micro-credentials. Participants in the Caring for Select Populations in Primary Care Nursing micro-credential will learn to deliver culturally safe, trauma-informed care to people who face barriers to accessing medical services or have health challenges. The second micro-credential—Health Promotion, Prevention and Screening in Primary Care Nursing—will prepare nurses to be leaders in preventative care. As part of the course, participants will learn how to design community health initiatives. These two programs are open to registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses, as well as final-year nursing students.
