Abstract
Graduate students in a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program in the United States and undergraduate students in a first-year English course, Writing and Rhetoric, at a university in Ecuador participated in a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) experience in Fall Semester 2021. The purpose of the COIL experience was to develop global perspectives and cultural competencies regarding diversity and inclusion in mental health. The objectives of the COIL experience were to identify and discuss changes in thinking in four areas: eugenics and cultural bias, cultural bias in research, culture and mental illness, and institutional and care policies. Groups of students created educational posters about diversity and inclusion in mental health that were presented at a virtual mini conference to which other students and faculty at the participating universities were invited.
