About The Project

We are conducting a qualitative research study to explore and describe the phenomenon of horizontal violence within a multi-disciplinary healthcare team at a large Military Treatment Facility (MTF). The study focuses on identifying the nature and incidence of horizontal violence among civilian and active-duty healthcare professionals, understanding how military and Navy-specific cultural factors influence these behaviors, and exploring perceived barriers and facilitators to addressing them.

This research addresses a critical gap in military healthcare by expanding the focus beyond nursing to include physicians and unlicensed personnel in a military-specific context. The study findings will directly inform the development of culturally tailored interventions aimed at reducing horizontal violence and enhancing the health, wellbeing, and retention of healthcare professionals, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Clinical Research Coordinator to support this important project. Responsibilities will include participant recruitment and consent, data collection coordination, tracking project progress, and assisting with regulatory compliance and reporting requirements.
