Abstract
As effective communication is an essential professional competency that is conceptualized
and developed during undergraduate education, the purpose of this study was to investigate and
reinforce the role of communication in the nursing undergraduate curriculum. Analysis of faculty
and student focus group discussions revealed the benefit of purposefully structuring and explicitly
articulating communication education throughout the undergraduate curriculum for increased accessibility
and visibility of communication education, expanded ranges of available teaching and
learning methods and resources, and strengthened ability to address undermining mixed communication
messages. These findings have implications for how to specifically include communication
education in a learning-centered undergraduate curriculum.
