The Summit will provide opportunities to learn about these populations in more depth and to network with nurse researchers who are actively working to improve the health and lives of Indigenous people.

James created a novel training program to combat inherent bias in decision-making by police officers, which hundreds of officers have taken at departments around the country. That program began in the research lab as James was working on her PhD; she had developed simulations to study officer responses, and potential biases, when making decisions in encounters involving the use of force and other situations.
For our last days in Zambia we traveled to Livingstone and explored the city. From hiking to relaxing by the pool we were sad to see our time come to an end, but grateful for the experiences and memories made here.
Our time at Kafakumba Clinic pushed us beyond the classroom and headfirst in to the realities of global health where each day brought us new challenges, lessons, and moments of self reflection. As we unwind in Livingstone, Zambia, it’s safe to say we’re taking the time to not only decompress but process an experience that has been both demanding and incredibly meaningful.
As their time at Kafakumba Training Center comes to an end, WSU nursing students are reflecting on the clinical experiences, community outreach, and cultural connections that have defined their time in Zambia. From helping at a rural village clinic to building friendships with local students, the experience has left a lasting impact.
A day at Fisenge Village Clinic gave WSU nursing students a firsthand look at maternal and community health in Zambia. From witnessing their first childbirth to providing health education at a local school, students experienced the impact of nursing across both clinical and community settings.
WSU nursing students continued their Zambia study abroad experience with a day of clinical learning at Roan Antelope General Hospital and a visit to Baluba Village. From pediatric nursing rounds to learning Bemba phrases and exploring local markets, the day offered new perspectives on health care, culture, and community.
WSU College of Nursing students spent their first official clinical day in Zambia at Roan Antelope General Hospital in Luanshya, where they toured emergency, pediatric, NICU, maternity, and medical-surgical wards. The experience offered a powerful look at nursing, childbirth, resource limitations, and cultural practices in a Zambian hospital setting.
For many students, the day reshaped how they think about health care access, sanitation, patient privacy, transportation barriers, and the resources often taken for granted in American hospitals. After returning to Kafakumba, the group shared a traditional Zambian meal of nshima, cabbage, chicken, salt, and soup, adding another meaningful cultural experience to the day.
