The SOGI Nursing Website is a Toolkit for Nurses and Nursing Educators and was primarily designed for use by nursing faculty, given CAN-Sim’s mission to collaborate for excellence in simulation education and research.

Educators may opt to use this toolkit as part of a syllabus, as required reading or as a classroom activity. The lessons in the toolkit are also designed for self-directed learning for nursing faculty, nursing students, or other health professionals.

No background knowledge in sexual orientation and gender identity is required. The toolkit was created to provide introductory knowledge on these topics, teaching tools, learning resources, and links to relevant external resources for users wishing to explore content in greater depth.
