About
The realm of healthcare is undeniably challenging.
The stresses begin with training and carry through the entirety of professional life. Though they may vary in nature, intensity and duration, they are ever present.
Much of the stress comes from the acquisition and continued pursuit of specialized knowledge. In addition, the demands of the environment (academia, private and public institutions) are often unrelenting. Last but certainly not least, the weight of responsibility to patients is immeasurable.
From the outset, attention is placed on clinical and didactic competency. This is maintained and added upon with credentialing and licensing requirements. While this is absolutely necessary, it is insufficient to prepare those entering the healthcare workforce. It neglects the importance oneโs humanity.
Compassionate Competency strives to address the humanistic aspects of giving and receiving care. With compassion at its core, the framework creates a cohesive context for the many challenges faced within the realm. It provides a systematic way of addressing the art of healthcare.
