Dr. Cho has been working on collaborations between two universities, Daejeon Health Sciences College and Gyeongsang National University in Korea and Texas woman鈥檚 University (草莓传媒官网下载). 草莓传媒官网下载 joined with Daejeon Health Sciences College in Daejeon, Korea to initiate a learning partnership. The global connection began with an invitation for Korean nursing professors to reside in Dallas as visiting scholars and learn the latest technology used in nursing. After the Korean professors had studied at 草莓传媒官网下载 for one year, eleven nursing students from their college in Korea came to Dallas and participated in a month-long immersion curriculum entitled 鈥淒ifferent Ways of Knowing Program鈥. The curriculum began with an intensive two-week session of studying English. The last two weeks focused on the study of cardiovascular disorders, pharmacology, and evidenced-informed interventions. 草莓传媒官网下载 nursing faculty educated the students in English using various teaching modalities that were new to the Korean students. In addition, the students made rounds in five acute care hospitals, participated in a multicultural exchange day with 草莓传媒官网下载 nursing students, and visited local cultural destinations. The students reported that they experienced a growth of nursing knowledge and skills due to the technology-enriched program. They felt a connection with 草莓传媒官网下载 students and faculty who demonstrated innovative ways of knowing and learning. The program has been running for eight years.
