About Us

The School of Nursing is committed to research, professional activities, knowledge generation, and advancement of nursing practice. Through partnerships among educators, students, practitioners, researchers and policy developers, we promote health and social change.

We honour all members of our community. We uphold an inclusive environment wherein diversity in beliefs and practices—as well as individual uniqueness—is lived, celebrated and respected.

Uniquely situated in the Faculty of Health, the School of Nursing provides opportunity to pursue scholarly links with the university through:

We are linked with research centres at the University of British Columbia including the Institute for Health Promotion Research, the Human Early Learning Partnership, and the W. Maurice Young Centre for Applied Ethics, Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.

We have strong research and practice linkages with Island Health, Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, Fraser Health Authority, Interior Health Authority, Northern Health Authority, Provincial Health Authority, and Ministry of Health.

The School of Nursing is accredited by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing and approved by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives.
