IRUN Curriculum Framework

The IRUN Curriculum Framework:
​A Guide to Integrating Content in Prelicensure Nursing Practice

Serves as a guide for nursing faculty on integrating immunization content into pre-licensure curricula.  The framework covers 12 foundational topics, it does not provide instructions for teaching immunization.  Faculty can utilize the framework to assess existing curricula and incorporate learning objectives and resources.

Fundamental Case Studies

​Allows students to apply clinical judgment and reasoning using patient cases that address fundamental immunization content across the life span. The 21 cases are grouped by patient age and categorized by difficulty level, from easy to moderate to advanced. The case studies can be incorporated into in-person or virtual learning course curricula as either individual or group learning activities.

Simulation Scenarios

Simulation engages learners of all levels to improve their cognitive, psychomotor, and affective skills. Three simulation scenarios allow students to apply immunization knowledge in infant, adolescent, and adult vaccination scenarios. These adaptable scenarios can be used for classroom role-play, as a stand-alone lab simulation or incorporated existing simulations and/or course content.

IRUN Curriculum Mapping Tool 

Operationalizes the IRUN framework and serves as a starting point for integrating immunization content into individual courses. for individual course or curriculum revision efforts. The IRUN Curriculum Mapping Tool links the learning objectives of the 12 IRUN framework topics  to 13 common, requisite nursing courses and can be used by individual faculty and/or curriculum committees for course and/or curricular integration.

Complex Case Studies ​(coming soon)

​Allow students to apply clinical judgment and reasoning using patient cases that address complex immunization content across the life span. These case studies cover complex immunization concepts such as immunization outside of the U.S, immunizing individuals with high risk conditions and reporting vaccine adverse reactions and adverse events. The case studies can be incorporated into in-person or virtual learning course curricula as either individual or group learning activities.
