“…Although many HCPs have heard the term and even cared for women and girls who have been cut (Hess et al, 2010; Lane et al, 2018), they have rarely received education regarding this topic or formal training in caring for these patients. Donnenwirth et al (2021) surveyed 1,496 schools of nursing (SONs) across the United States searching for content on FGC/M in nursing curriculums at all levels and found that a significant gap in FGC/M-related education exists in SONs in the United States. Only 27% of responding SONs (110 of 403) indicated FGC/M was a part of the curriculum.…”

Introduction: Female genital cutting/mutilation (FGC/M) is a ritual to remove any or all of the external female genitalia. Educational strategies regarding the teaching of FGC/M for nursing students are scarce. The focus of this article is to describe the development, implementation, and evaluation of a virtual, FGC/M-related dramatization simulation with a standardized patient (SP). Methods: This educational intervention used an East African immigrant woman as the SP with 35 undergraduate nursing students in two nursing schools in the Midwest United States. Results: Participants appraised the simulation as an effective way to teach and learn about FGC/M. Debriefing was a key part of the simulation. Discussion: Students felt the simulation was novel and engaging for a highly sensitive topic. The SP thought the virtual setting made it more comfortable for her to reveal sensitive facts. The researchers confirmed that the simulation required extensive time commitment to develop, critique, and implement.
