Each Fall at Duke, students from any of DUSON’s academic programs and across the University have a unique opportunity to examine the physiological, psychological and socital challenges of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) both in the United States and globally. “Understanding Sickle Cell Disease: A Biopsychosocial Approach”, was revised to an online elective course, updated, and taught by Paula Tanabe, PhD, MSN, MPH, RN, FAEN, FAAAN, Laurel Chadwick Distinguished Professor of Nursing at DUSON.

Ernest J. Grant, PhD, RN, FAAN, vice dean of the Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) at the School of Nursing, initially joined the School in March 2023. The immediate past-president of the American Nursing Association, and first-ever male to hold the position, Grant says diversity and representation in nursing matters now more than ever.
