Seton Hall Partners with Maynooth University to Advance Digital Health Training
South Orange, Wednesday, 1 October 2025.
Seton Hall University’s College of Nursing collaborates with Ireland’s Maynooth University to enhance digital health education, aiming to equip nurses with essential skills for modern healthcare.
Expanding Global Reach in Healthcare Education
Seton Hall University’s recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Maynooth University signifies a strategic move to address the growing demand for digital competencies in nursing. This partnership will allow nursing students and faculty from both institutions to engage in cross-cultural exchanges, thereby broadening their educational and professional perspectives in digital health [1].
Innovative Curriculum Development
The collaboration aims to integrate digital health training into Seton Hall’s nursing curriculum, providing students with the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of modern healthcare environments. This includes exposure to digital media education, a component essential in addressing the existing gap between practice and research in the healthcare field [2][3].
Future Initiatives and Student Engagement
The first major initiative under this agreement is set to launch in the summer of 2026, when students from Seton Hall’s Second Degree Accelerated B.S.N. program will participate in advanced digital health training sessions at Maynooth University. This program is designed to incorporate cross-cultural learning, enhancing students’ understanding of sociocultural determinants of health, and integrating them into digital health initiatives [1].
Strengthening Global Healthcare Leadership
Kristi Stinson, Ph.D., interim dean of the College of Nursing at Seton Hall, emphasized the partnership’s potential to mold future healthcare leaders who are both compassionate and technologically adept. By fostering an environment where students can learn directly from international experts, the collaboration is poised to set a new standard in nursing education [1][3].
