ABOUT THE PROGRAM 

This year’s retreat will help physicians learn self-care. Being empowered to practice self-care, self-compassion and mindfulness is essential to building resilience. 

Research shows that training in mindfulness and self-compassion techniques can enhance physicians’ ability to cope with stress and burnout. This can result in better self-care, better patient care and improved job satisfaction. 

During the weekend, participants will learn stress resilience, mindful awareness techniques and self-care practices that are easy to implement and practice daily. Training will include a review of scientific and evidence-based literature, self-reflection and experiential exercises. 

Come prepared to improve your overall health and well-being!
