The development of a community-based baccalaureate curriculum model in a culturally diverse health care delivery area.
In 1997, faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio School of Nursing embarked on the development of a community-based care model within the existing curriculum to serve the culturally diverse populations in rural and urban areas of South Texas. A grant awarded by the Helene Fuld Health Trust in 2000 enabled faculty to develop the requisite knowledge and skills relating to community-based care and develop strategies for the delivery of community-based care in a variety of settings. This article provides an overview of the process of curriculum development and its impact on faculty, students, and a diverse community service area.
