Multicultural Nursing Symposium
The UCSF School of Nursing will address the concerns of Bay Area nurses by hosting a
multicultural symposium titled "Bringing Communities Together: Our Strength,"
Friday, April 9, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in Cole Hall.
The symposium will identify nursing issues to improve the delivery of nursing care to, and
the health of, multicultural communities.
The keynote speakers are national leaders in ethnic minority health care issues, including
Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN, the second African-American President of the American
Nurses Association, and Stanley Sue, PhD, professor of psychology and psychiatry director,
Asian-American Studies Program, UC-Davis. Other speakers include chapter authors of
Culture & Nursing Care: A Pocket Guide, a well-known book used by nurses to understand
the similarities and differences within and among different ethnic groups.
Although the UCSF School of Nursing has historically hosted Hispanic and African-American
symposiums, this is the first at UCSF to address cross-cultural health care issues and is
one of few in the nation to do so, according to Maria Warda, RN, PhD, Chair of the
Multicultural Symposium Planning Committee.
For more information and registration, call Joann Ray at 476-4897.
