Offered in both English and French.
This intensive two-day workshop aims to introduce two complementary concepts: mindfulness and whole person care in the context of clinical practice. Participants will be physicians and other health care providers who will learn how to promote healing in one's self and others through a variety of exercises and experiences (e.g., narratives, role play, meditation). Mindful communication will be highlighted as it is an essential element of professionalism. Sunday will provide a day of reflection and mindful practice to enhance participants' well-being.
