MISSION

The Global Nursing Program is committed to addressing the global nursing shortage by expanding access to high-quality nursing education and leadership development in underserved regions.

We empower nurses – the backbone of health systems – through peer-to-peer mentorship, train-the-trainer models, and strong local partnerships that support and expand regionally driven nursing education and care delivery models.

With the support of philanthropy and strategic collaboration, we are equipping nurses with the skills, tools, and confidence to deliver exceptional care and strengthen the health systems their communities rely on every day.

We offer two distinct programs to support this mission and are proud to leverage the expertise of our nurses to address this challenge.

GLOBAL NURSING FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

The Global Nursing Fellowship Program offers short-term fellowships to provide didactic instruction and clinical mentorship based on requests for specific clinical expertise from our partners. Fellows foster a sense of commitment to the global nursing community, elevate the role of nurses in delivering clinical care, and provide fundamental nursing education to advance nursing practice

Process

MGH Global Nursing works with clinical department leadership to identify nurses interested in living and teaching with our partners for up to three months. Priority for placement is given to nurses at least three years post licensure and who have been employed in their current service for at least two years. A demonstrated ability to work across and within diverse cultures and resource scarce settings is preferred. For more information about the Fellowship, contact the Global Nursing Program: mghcghglobalnursing@mgb.org.

If you are an MGB employee and interested in becoming a nursing fellow with the Global Nursing team, please review the application information and send your application to mghcghglobalnursing@mgb.org.

GLOBAL NURSING LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

The Global Nursing Leadership course offers nurses and nurse leaders an opportunity to develop strong leadership skills, essential in dynamic health care environments around the world. Nurse leaders serve as role-models who can motivate other nurses, impact patient outcomes, and positively affect health policy and legislation. This course has been shared with nurse leaders across seven countries, as well as domestically. For more information about this program, please send an email to mghcghglobalnursing@mgb.org.
