Developing strategies for well-being is instrumental in coping with stress, maximizing didactic and clinical teaching and in providing the best possible care to our patients.  Mindfulness is a nonjudgmental awareness of the present moment that results in healthier and more adaptive ways of responding to stress.  This program will describe mindfulness, the research that supports it and will provide an opportunity to practice a mindfulness technique.  Break-out sessions will enable participants to discuss ways to incorporate mindfulness techniques into classroom and clinical training.

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

1. Describe mindfulness and the research that supports it
2. Engage in and lead others through mindfulness techniques
3. Outline strategies to implement and facilitate mindfulness practices in classroom and clinical training environments
