TL;DR: The Global Health Competency Subcommittee's work and proposed list of interprofessional global health competencies are described, with a need for continued debate and dialog to validate the proposed set of competencies.
Abstract: BACKGROUND At the 2008 inaugural meeting of the Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH), participantsdiscussed therapid expansionofglobalhealthprograms and thelack of standardizedcompetencies andcurriculatoguidetheseprograms.In2013,CUGHappointedaGlobalHealthCompetencySubcommitteeand chargedthissubcommitteewithidentifyingbroadglobalhealthcorecompetenciesapplicableacrossdisciplines. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this paper is to describe the Subcommittee’s work and proposed list of interprofessional global health competencies. METHODS After agreeing on a definition of global health to guide the Subcommittee’s work, members conducted an extensive literature review to identify existing competencies in all fields relevant to global health. Subcommittee members initially identified 82 competencies in 12 separate domains, and proposed fourdifferentcompetencylevels.Theproposedcompetenciesanddomainswerediscussedduringmultiple conference calls, and subcommittee members voted to determine the final competencies to be included in twoofthefourproposedcompetencylevels(globalcitizenandbasicoperationalleveleprogramoriented). FINDINGS The final proposed list included a total of 13 competencies across 8 domains for the Global Citizen Level and 39 competencies across 11 domains for the Basic Operational Program-Oriented Level. CONCLUSIONS There is a need for continued debate and dialog to validate the proposed set of competencies, and a need for further research to identify best strategies for incorporating these competencies into global health educational programs. Future research should focus on implementation and evaluation of these competencies across a range of educational programs, and further delineating the competencies needed across all four proposed competency levels.

TL;DR: Characteristics of successful recruitment and retention efforts targeting racial/ethnic minority nurses are highlighted, and recommendations to strengthen the development and evaluation of their contributions to eliminating health disparities are concluded.
Abstract: As nursing continues to advance health care in the 21st century, the current shift in demographics, coupled with the ongoing disparities in health care and health outcomes, will warrant our ongoing attention and action. As within all health professions, concerted efforts are needed to diversify the nation's health-care workforce. The nursing profession in particular will be challenged to recruit and retain a culturally diverse workforce that mirrors the nation's change in demographics. This increased need to enhance diversity in nursing is not new to the profession; however, the need to successfully address this issue has never been greater. This article discusses increasing the diversity in nursing and its importance in reducing health disparities. We highlight characteristics of successful recruitment and retention efforts targeting racial/ethnic minority nurses and conclude with recommendations to strengthen the development and evaluation of their contributions to eliminating health disparities.
