and ground floor level. The type of empowerment and advocacy provided,<br />
changes based on the setting, based on the needs. The goal is always to<br />
represent those who experience and live in the problem. By listening to the<br />
community, we can create a strategy and an understanding on when to<br />
advocate and to who we make the change to. When working within different<br />
communities, it is extremely important to understand cultural humility vs cultural<br />
competency. We must commit to the ongoing process of self evaluation and<br />
self critique, paired with being willing to learn from others; understanding that<br />
we will never know everything about the experience of being in another culture<br />
or community. We must honor other peoples beliefs, customs and values and<br />
work to change our shortcomings and biases. This is how we can work to<br />
empower and advocate in other communities, while working with them to<br />
make the changes they want to make.<br />
Through these lenses, we recognize the difference in system based practices<br />
and see the distinction between best practice and difference in practice.<br />
We can then begin to see why people understand illness in different ways.<br />
The Global Health conference showed me the importance of discussing and<br />
addressing the hard issues, looking at the grassroots, to get to the important<br />
solutions. It also reaffirmed to me that our goal as health care practitioners is<br />
to improve the health of people and work with people on their health goals.<br />
All while working to improve equity and access to information and resources.<br />
I thoroughly enjoyed my time getting to know people from places like Botswana,<br />
Armenia and many others. I learned so many new things that I will carry with<br />
me in my practice and career. I thank everyone who spoke and provided<br />
education at this conference. I look forward to continuing my work in this<br />
important field and continuing to bring the nursing perspective to the table.<br />
