This longitudinal elective will take place in 10 two-hour sessions, on Monday evenings from 6-8pm. We will start each session with an opening mediation, and then a brief check0in with students about the previous week. Then, we will introduce a new mindfulness technique (examples include eating meditation, walking meditation, and journaling), after which we will debrief about the experience. This is an excellent opportunity to get to know your peers in a small group environment, and to acquire tools to build resiliency in the challenging field of medicine. Students must attend 7 of the 10 dates for credits.
