Abstract

Abstract: Nursing students seeking a PhD often learn only conceptually about principles such as diversity and inclusion, social determinants of health, and interprofessional team science. With only a conceptual understanding of these important elements, future nurse scientists may not fully understand their role as advocates for social justice for vulnerable populations. Students' real-life or hands-on experiences in these areas are often mentor dependent. Simulation in PhD Program is an innovative program to provide these experiences via various modalities, including authentic online activities and in-person experiences.
