Globe and Mail features IUBAT Nursing

In December 2009 Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail wrote about our project for the series "Things That Work". Photos showed Karen Lund teaching in an IUBAT classroom and Lynn Buhler at her Vancouver Coastal Health office. Karen was quoted, "The program's biggest challenge is helping students accustomed to a rote memorization style of learning adapt to a system based on critical thinking and problem solving." Melodie Hull from College of the Rockies said, “These students will be able to change the way nursing is seen and how it does its work in Bangladesh." Thanks to the paper's National Affairs reporter Wendy Stueck for the great story.
