The College of Diverse Education, Health, and Wellness Sciences, LLC is a private institution working in collaboration and partnership with the J R Young Health Equity Institute, a private, nonprofit, charitable educational institution.
The inaugural programs for the College of Diverse Education, Health, and Wellness Sciences consist of innovative health equity, nursing, and public health programs. The Mission of the college is to embrace the pursuit of excellence both inside and outside the classroom, encourage critical thinking, and emphasize the diverse, equitable, inclusive, and anti-bias teaching-learning processes and practices. The underpinnings of the Health Equity Model©, the Video, Audio, Reading, and Kinesthetics (VARK) Model, and Constructive Learning Model (learners constructively participate in learning activities) serve as the underpinnings for our programs of study. Access to interpretation and diverse language materials are included in this process to prevent associated barriers.

Revolutionizing Online Learning
Each stage of the academic nursing and healthcare career should include a firm foundation in cutting-edge, equitable clinical care and health outcomes, generating culturally competent and sensitive faculty and students. The faculty and student roles are distinct and encourage civility by employing constructive criticism and peer learning. Critical concepts of excellence in education, practice, leadership, service, and scholarship are an integral part of the process. This approach is significant to fostering the adult learning theory/andragogy in the domain of nursing and healthcare education.
Encouraging students to take part in the teaching-learning process is of utmost importance. The Health Equity Model, Constructive and Cognitive Learning Theories, and competency-based education are critical to the underpinnings of the curriculum to promote a beneficial nursing and healthcare education experience. Embracing processes such as debriefing, reflecting, and evaluating across the curriculum help students understand the outcomes of the teaching-learning process and support quality improvement within the curriculum. Various teaching-learning models such as Video Audio Reading Kinesthetic (VARK) are instrumental in addressing the learning needs of diverse student populations. An equitable academic trajectory that concentrates on the individual success of each student addresses the complexity of healthcare delivery in diverse, rural, and underserved communities to reduce health disparities and inequities and improve outcomes.
