Mindfulness Training for Clinicians

The importance of mindfulness in reducing levels of stress and in supporting the wellbeing of clinicians and patients has been shown in a number of trials. Mindfulness is a profoundly simple and accessible way of using attention and supports the capacity of clinicians to cope with the everyday demands of practice and be compassionately engaged with the most difficult parts of themselves and their patients.

James Carmody Ph.D is Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of Massachusetts Medical School. He teaches and researches effects of mindfulness training on symptoms, immune function and well-being and is principal investigator on several NIH-funded clinical trials. He is a New Zealander and has practiced in mindfulness-based traditions for forty years and was an instructor in the UMass Center for Mindfulness Stress Reduction program.
