Lili has nursing experience in adult cardiothoracic, vascular, medical-surgical nursing, and post-anesthesia care. Lili teaches in both the undergraduate and graduate programs and is an affiliate of the UVM Osher Center for Integrative Health. Lili co-created two nursing elective courses: Compassionate Care for Nurses, and a travel nursing course – The Intersection of Mindfulness, Compassion, & Planetary Health.
