About the Keynote Address
The Department of Professional Development and Continuing Education presents an Enid Goldberg Endowed Visiting Lectureship event, which showcases a nurse researcher at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing. The keynote speaker, Dr. Roberta Proffitt Lavin, will discuss the long-term health impacts of climate-associated disasters. The presentation will offer evidence from geographic information system (GIS) datasets correlating with the Seven Vital Conditions for Health and Well-Being framework. This holistic model integrates complex data in an easy-to-navigate, openly available tool. The tool integrates hazard, climate and population vulnerability data, as well as health outcomes, to understand the risks of a community and the future impacts on health. This information lays the foundation for identifying the educational needs of health care providers specific to regional disasters and regional adaptive capacity.
About Pitt Nursing Research Day
In addition to the endowed visiting lectureship event, the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing Office of Research and Scholarship will showcase the impactful research conducted by faculty, students and postdoctoral scholars at Pitt Nursing. This will be accomplished during two sessions divided into oral presentations and digital poster presentations. Each session will highlight the Nursing Research and Scholarship HUBS, which include digital health research, genomics of patient outcomes, sleep and circadian science, nursing health services and policy, maternal/perinatal and reproductive health, aging and gerontology, nursing education and clinical research for evidence-based practice and cancer survivorship.
