HRSA's Bureau of Health Professions, Division of Nursing, will host an invitational summit that focuses on Nursing Workforce Diversity (NWD), Health Disparities, and the Social Determinants of Health. The goal of this summit is to convene experts, thought leaders, and key workforce diversity stakeholders to identify the full range of academic and health system factors, as well as the social, economic, political, and environmental determinants that influence our ability to diversify the nursing workforce. The goal of the summit is to utilize the social determinants of health frameworks to examine the impact of workforce diversity on health disparities. These activities will inform a broader and formal evaluation of the NWD program.
