Adtalem Global Education Inc.’s (ATGE - Free Report) Chamberlain unit recently launched a research-based program, the Social Determinants of Learning. This program is to boost a more diverse pipeline of students entering the nursing profession.
According to the Social Determinants of Learning framework that was presented at the 2021 National League for Nursing Education Summit, there are six most important factors for increasing diversity in the nursing profession. These are physical health, psychosocial health, economic stability, physical environment, social environment and self-motivation.
For admission, Chamberlain has undertaken a universal data-driven approach and evaluate factors that are far off from systemized test scores and GPA. Meanwhile, Chamberlain started an 8-week pre-licensure BSN integrated program for students’ psychological health. Notably, more than 60% students taking part in that program reported a markdown on their stress levels.
With respect to the latest launch, Karen Cox, president of Chamberlain, stated,” We are committed to engaging healthcare and education partners to join us in this nationwide effort to ensure that the nursing workforce of the future more clearly represents the communities and the patients we serve.”
