Who is the Compassionate Competency framework for?


individuals

The information is relevant to any individual in the realm of healthcare (student, educator, professional). Used as a method of self-reflection, one can discover their own beliefs, attitudes, strengths, and areas for improvement.


compassionate care & wellness initiatives

Institutions and organizations desiring to shift their internal culture, may encounter some amount of resistance and cynicism to emerge with such changes. Compassionate Competency can serve as an inspirational, and more importantly, practical introduction to such initiatives.


healthcare pathway programs

Compassionate Competency (CC) helps future professionals to understand the web of relationships that exist in the realm of healthcare. They begin to understand how they will contribute to the larger picture and how it, in turn, may affect them.


interest groups & clubs

Student-run groups and associations are a vital part of campus life. Having a different perspective from educators, their contributions from collective learning and collaboration provide value. Such groups may be an ideal opportunity to explore peer learning and its proposed benefits. The framework of CC can provide a foundation for groups focused on patient care and/or professional and personal well-being.
