Deepen your skills. Participating in this 5-day, residential retreat-like workshop will enable you to advance your teaching and facilitation skills to offer Flourishing in Medicine programs to health professionals at all levels and in a variety of formats. The same skills as in our core workshops -- greater attentiveness, self-awareness, teamwork, and self-monitoring – will be applied to teaching skills.
Energize your clinical work and teaching. You will develop greater expertise, self-awareness, deep listening and resilience in your role as teacher and clinician. You will help yourself and your future students find joy, provide compassionate care, and navigate stressful and demanding situations that clinicians face daily.
Clarify and focus on your own learning needs. We create a psychologically safe learner-centered environment that helps you define and realize your own learning goals, and we promote a learning community in which you will learn from facilitators and colleagues through in individual, small group and large group sessions.
Limited to 24 participants.
A participatory, hands-on program that combines didactic presentations and practical training in conducting experiential exercises using narratives, appreciative interviews, inquiry-oriented discussions, and contemplative practices such as mindfulness meditation. You will receive guidance in teaching and facilitation skills in large- and small-group settings.
Designed by physicians for medical practitioners and others involved in medical practice and medical education.
A world-wide reach. Connect with Mindful Practice facilitators from over 20 countries.
