The Institute of Human Becoming

The Institute of Human Becoming, founded in 1992 by Rosemarie Rizzo Parse, was created to offer interested nurses and others the opportunity to study, with Dr. Parse, the ontological, epistemological, and methodological aspects of the human becoming school of thought. The Institute offers summer sessions devoted to the study of the theory, the research methodologies, the practice methodology, and other topics of concern to the discipline of nursing. All of the sessions, offered in Pittsburgh, have as their goal understanding the meaning of the human-universe-health process from a human becoming perspective.

Each session offers a different focus. There are sessions on theory and theory evolution, the practice methodology, the research methodologies, community, teaching-learning, family, leading-following, and others. Upon completion of each session participants receive a certificate reflecting the number of hours spent in studying human becoming.
