Research Article: Use of Simulation to Integrate Cultural Humility Into Advanced Health Assessment for Nurse Practitioner Students
Lead author: Abraham N. Ndiwane
Submitted by: Todd Lash, Publications Committee Chair

To access cultural issues and level of student satisfaction, the authors created an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) offered to nurse practitioner students practice in simulation. This learning activity included pre- and post-assessments of knowledge on cultural content. Course content included an exemplar video and a simulation interview with an African American standardized patient. Standardized patient scenarios scored highest for satisfaction, followed by critical thinking, and with self-confidence scoring lowest. The favorable knowledge outcomes from this teaching intervention support future applications of OSCE methodology for teaching sensitive cross-cultural content.
