An introduction to Mindful Practice

Join Us for this transformative 2-Day Workshop.

Enhance your well-being and professional fulfillment with this experiential program tailored to the unique needs of physicians. Rooted in the evidence-based, JAMA-published Mindful Practice Program from the University of Rochester, this CPD accredited workshop teaches and deepens skills in meditation, self-awareness, and self-regulation while fostering meaningful connection and community.

Led by Dr. Jillian Horton, who has trained extensively in this approach, you’ll engage in structured conversations, deep listening, and practical strategies applicable to clinical practice, teaching, and work-life integration. Don’t miss this opportunity to reconnect with yourself and your purpose in medicine.
