Research and Scholarship on Learning and Working in Healthcare
CCI serves as a hub not only for skill- and resilience-building of the next generation of nursing students, but as a provider of ongoing clinician professional development based both on research being done inside and outside of UVA, UVA School of Nursing, and UVA Health.
Compassionate care research - defined as research that alleviates suffering by advancing the well-being of patients, families, organizations, and communities - is the hallmark of CCI's work, and buttresses the science and understanding of the importance of why self-care and support through professional development is so critical to clinicians' health, and health systems' human and financial capital.
