ENFERMERIA Travel Award Application

 About the ENFERMERIA Initiative:

The ENFERMERIA (Educating Nurses for Engagement, Research, Mentoring Excellence & Reinforcing Interpretation Access) initiative is funded by an HSI Title V grant by the U.S. Department of Education. The two overarching goals of the ENFERMERIA initiative are:

  1. Increase Hispanic/Latino representation in UCF nursing graduate programs;
  2. Equip UCF nursing graduate students of all backgrounds to provide culturally congruent care to Hispanic/Latino communities.

About the Hispanic Serving Healthcare Professionals Graduate Certificate:

The Hispanic Serving Healthcare Professionals certificate explores the healthcare needs of, and barriers to, the Hispanic community. It will prepare interdisciplinary learners to recognize the community’s unique needs in professional allied health practices, influence change in both practice and policy to eliminate disparities and improve patient outcomes and provide culturally congruent care through linguistically and culturally supportive resources. Qualified completing students may seek national medical translator certification.

 About the ENFERMERIA Travel Award:

The ENFERMERIA Travel Award supports travel expenses for students enrolled in the Hispanic Serving Healthcare Professionals Graduate Certificate Program. This travel award program is designed to both enhance professional development opportunities for students and to further promote UCF’s Title V ENFERMERIA initiative.
