Abstract

Gender plays a pivotal role in patients’ health due to its influence on health behaviors, health care engagement, and the quality of care received. To truly achieve health equity for all, providers must be aware of gender-based discrimination within health care and be equipped with skills to combat sources of gender-based health disparities. The following report discusses the development and implementation of a graduate-level elective course for the purpose of increasing the ability of future nurse practitioners to recognize and mitigate gender-based health disparities. Course conceptualization, including content creation, description and objective formation, and development of assignments, is discussed. Student course evaluations and feedback are provided.
