Welcoming Health Equity Academy II Scholars

Please join “The Academy for Academic and Social Enrichment and Leadership Development for Health Equity II” (HEA II) in welcoming its second cohort of Scholars! HEA II is the third nursing workforce diversity grant funded by the Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services Administration, Department of Health and Human Services (D19HP30844-01-00). This project is committed to the development of minority nurse leaders with an understanding of and commitment to addressing the relationship between social determinants of health, health access, health disparities and health equity. 

These seven HEA II Scholars will be on campus participating in the Pre-entry Immersion in Nursing (PIN) program from June 4 through June 28. During this four-week experience, Scholars will live on campus and work with Duke faculty, advisors and mentors to develop an enhanced understanding of social determinants of health. Upon successful completion of the PIN program, all seven of the HEA II Scholars will enter the Pathways to Success in Nursing (PSN) program and matriculate into the DUSON ABSN Fall 2019 cohort.  Pathways to Success in Nursing provides academic and social supports to HEA II Scholars throughout the ABSN program.  

Please save the date for the HEA II Scholar Project presentation that will be on June 27 at 10 a.m. in Pearson 1140.
