GENERAL SESSIONBack to the Future: A backward design to nursing education This session will explore how past is prologue for the advancement of nursing education. A brief historical perspective will highlight advances or deficiencies related to diversity, equity, and inclusion with education. A keen focus on simulation and public health will be explored. A highlight of the discussion will examine how technology and forward-thinking can shape our student and community health outcomes. Desiree Diaz serves as Professor and Undergraduate Simulation Coordinator at the University of Central Florida, where she also directs the institution’s Hispanic Serving Healthcare Professionals Certificate Program. Dr. Diaz is the current president of the International Nursing Association for Clinical and Simulation Learning (INACSL). One of the world’s leading healthcare simulation education experts, Professor Díaz has spent more than a decade seeking to improve healthcare disparities through simulation education. She believes it is important not just to teach skills and responses, but also to explore the thoughts behind those actions. Her research focuses on combining cutting-edge simulation technology with the human emotion of empathy to foster more culturally competent providers and ultimately improve care for underserved patient populations, including the incarcerated, English language learners, and the LGBTQ+ community. Currently, her research focuses on improving maternal and newborn care in ethnically diverse populations. Her research has been widely published and presented, and her creative and innovative simulations have helped establish best practices and revolutionized training, such as the creation of the world’s first correctional nursing simulation van to train prison nurses. Díaz is also committed to global health and has helped lead several UCF interprofessional medical outreach trips to South America, Africa, and the Caribbean.

GENERAL SESSIONThe Curious & Dangerous Power of Story: Advancing Justice by Making Room for Everyone Humans are, by their very nature, storytelling creatures. We use stories to share knowledge, remember, and make sense of the world. But when we listen to only one kind of story – and to only a small group of storytellers – we harm and exclude. As nurses and educators, how do we use our innate storytelling and story-listening abilities to make our nursing education and practice more just and more inclusive? Beth Toner is Director of Program Communications for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). Beth has more than 30 years of experience in marketing and corporate communications. She is also a registered nurse with clinical experience in long-term care and community health settings. In her current role, Beth leads a team of communications professionals who provide strategic communications support for RWJF programs, who work together to advance health equity for all Americans. She finds her work at RWJF to be the perfect blend of her two passions: communications and healthcare. “I chose nursing as a second career because I care deeply about making a difference in the lives of people when they are at their most vulnerable,” she says. “This role allows me to do that in a systemic way.” Beth earned her ASN from Delaware County Community College and her MSN from Eastern Mennonite University, in addition to her multiple degrees in communications, journalism and fine arts.
