HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Faculty and students from Marshall University’s College of Health Professions and School of Nursing are set to present at the 1st International Conference in Palliative Care and Family Health Nursing in Bangkok, Thailand, June 26-27. This two-day conference is being hosted by Thammasat University in Thailand.
Marshall, as well as other organizations, are hosts for the upcoming event. The conference will focus on exchanging knowledge and research in the fields of palliative care and family health nursing. The hope is that, by bringing groups together from around the world, this will initiate a global network and understanding among nursing professionals about these areas of nursing.
Dr. Deborah Chapa is the director of the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Marshall and is one of nursing faculty presenting at the conference. Chapa said this is a great opportunity for Marshall’s School of Nursing to present on an international stage.
“This is an opportunity for faculty and students to exchange ideas with scholars and educators from around the globe,” Chapa said. “The hope is that moving forward, this will promote collaboration for research and education.“
“This is an amazing opportunity for the faculty at Marshall University to collaborate with educators from around the world, said Dr. Bobbie Taylor, another faculty member who will be presenting at the conference. “Substance Use Disorder is not only a local issue, but a global epidemic.
