The focus being on health equity, higher education has a responsibility to address this need. Various strategies can be employed at all levels of nursing education to prepare the students, including but not limited to study abroad. Opportunities to increase intercultural experiences, the skills and knowledge needed to provide culturally appropriate care, and the acquiring language skills. This world view will facilitate an awareness of interconnectedness and health concerns internationally.
