Perspectives of Nurse and Physician Educators Toronto Workshop 6. With interesting quotations, Marcia inspired us to collaborate with each other and be committed to advancing the message about supporting self-care. Here are two of the quotes she shared.
Collaboration refers to a process of working one with another.
It is not synonymous with cooperation, communication, or compromise. These words do not connote the richness embodied in a collaborative relationship. Collaboration involves trust and respect not only of one another, but also of the work and perspectives each contributes. The concept suggests a bond, a union, a depth of caring about each other and the relationship. It incorporates notions of a synergistic alliance that maximizes the contributions of each participant.
