Abstract

Advancing health across diverse and dynamic care settings requires nursing graduates who are equipped to care for vulnerable populations, including individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). Despite representing a significant segment of the population, individuals with IDD continue to face persistent health disparities, including shorter life expectancy. Nursing curricula often fall short in preparing students to deliver competent, person-centered care to this population. To strengthen nursing science and ensure equity in clinical education, innovative strategies are needed that can standardize learning, foster empathy, and promote clinical reasoning across all learning environments.
