Cancer causes wide-ranging impacts on sexual health and wellbeing and numerous studies have identified that people affected by cancer want support, education and counselling in this area.聽 While health professionals consistently acknowledge that sexuality is within their scope of practice, few health professionals consistently assess or intervene in sexual health problems in cancer settings.

The framework of this course encourages course participants to: 1) address and confront the ways in which their own, and society鈥檚, attitudes and biases impact their practice; 2) increase knowledge regarding the ways in which people affected by cancer maintain healthy sexuality or, in contrast, struggle with sexual challenges; and 3) develop knowledge and skill with regard to assessment and interventions for common sexual health issues that arise in cancer care. Attention to issues of diversity will be integrated throughout.

This is a 3 credit hour course consisting of 12 seminars over a 10-week period on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 16:05 鈥� 17:55, from June 14, 2017 until August 16, 2017.

1. Lecturer for NURS5732.03听- Pathophysiology for Advanced Nursing Practice (Fall term of the academic year 2017-2018)

This course uses an evidence-based conceptual approach to critically and comprehensively examine pathophysiologic phenomena relevant to advanced nursing practice. The phenomena examined are commonly encountered in acute and long-term illnesses, are alterations in function involving multiple body systems, are seen across the boundaries of age, disease entities, and clinical states, and are those for which nurses have a major role in assessing, monitoring, managing, and evaluating. Seminars are framed to systematically and critically examine the impact of these pathophysiologic phenomena on cell function, host defense responses, maintenance of vital functions, and neuro-endocrine-immune responses in individuals and groups across the lifespan.

This is a 3 credit hour course consisting of 3 lecture hours per week on Wednesdays, 14:30 鈥� 17:30, from September 5, 2017 until December 5, 2017.

This graduate course prepares students to perform advanced health assessments of pre-term, and newborn infants, who are healthy, as well as those who are experiencing illness. It will focus on the knowledge, skills, and processes required for advanced health assessment. Students will develop competence in completing focused and comprehensive health assessments including history taking, physical examination, synthesis, critical analysis, diagnostic reasoning, clinical judgement, and interpretation of health data. Students will further develop their understanding of the pathophysiological basis of clinical findings and will integrate an increasing knowledge of pathophysiology and pharmacology as a basis for formulating a plan of care. Elements of an advanced health assessment include physical and mental health, psychosocial, family, cultural, and community factors, the determinants of health, and risk appraisal as they relate to a client鈥檚 health status. Clinical, theoretical, and scientific knowledge will be synthesized in the identification and management of existing and potential states of health and illness.
