Academic conferences can help counter these barriers by fostering camaraderie and a sense of belonging. Methods A narrative review of English-language, peer-reviewed literature (January 2020 through March 2025) and historical sources examined mentorship, professional development, and conference participation among BIPOC nurses in academic settings. Results Affinity-based conference engagement reduced isolation, strengthened mentorship, and promoted culturally responsive teaching and leadership, but institutional barriers --especially funding and structural support--limited participation and impact. Implications Academic leaders should prioritize funding and sustained support for affinity-based conferences and mentorship programs as evidence-based strategies to improve faculty development and student outcomes. Conclusions Institutional investment in belonging, mentorship, and professional engagement enhances equity, retention, and excellence in nursing education. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
