Over the past fifteen years of engagement in healthcare environments, we have witnessed an acute need for an approach to care that extends beyond the patient and their loved ones to include the clinicians themselves.

Too often, clinicians experience burn-out, a sense of isolation, and loss of meaning in their work and lives. Now more than ever, there is a critical need for deeper connections with patients, team members, and loved ones in this time of pandemic.

To address this growing need, New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care launched a new and innovative year-long Contemplative Medicine Fellowship in July 2021. The inaugural cohort is now half-way through the training and beginning to apply the contemplative approach in their places of practice and lives, transforming their role as clinicians and leading change in the culture of care.

Join us for a free online event with Fellowship guiding teachers Sensei Koshin Paley Ellison, Sensei Chodo Robert Campbell, and Tieraona Low Dog, MD, an internationally recognized physician, author, educator and thought leader in integrative medicine, as they discuss the impact of the Fellowship and how we can reimagine medicine as an instrument of healing for clinicians as well as patients.

The Fellowship is currently open to physicians (MD and DO), advanced practice registered nurses (nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives), and physician assistants, but this webinar will be engaging and appropriate for other healthcare professionals wishing to explore a contemplative approach to care—all are welcome!

*This evening will kick-off another series of conversations about Contemplative Medicine with our Fellowship faculty.
