UW School of Nursing students and faculty are invited to join a new student-faculty collaborative focused on improving transgender patient care content in the A/BSN curriculum.
As part of ongoing curriculum revision, BSN students identified bias and gaps in course materials and faculty resources related to nursing care of transgender patients. The BSN Curriculum Committee has unanimously approved a proposal to launch this collaborative, with current acting faculty support from Dr. Kendra Kamp, BSNCC Chair.
Collaborative goals
- Build on an existing literature review on nursing considerations for transgender patients.
- Identify new curriculum materials that reflect best practices for high-quality transgender patient care.
- Develop baccalaureate nursing content through a student-faculty partnership model.
- Conduct outreach to faculty members leading courses that would benefit from integration of new content.
- Present findings to the BSN Curriculum Committee for integration into the A/BSN curriculum.
Timeline and commitment
- Meetings will take place during winter and spring quarters.
- The collaborative aims to present findings to BSNCC by the end of spring quarter 2027.
- Expected commitment is flexible, approximately 4 – 8 hours per month.
Faculty co-leads and students from all cohorts are especially encouraged to participate to help shape a project with long-term impact.
This is an opportunity to build leadership experience, contribute to scholarship, and directly shape curriculum improvements.
Please complete the interest form by Nov. 30, 2026. Organizers will follow up by the end of autumn quarter 2026.
