This interactive course is led by health experts from the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine. The course enhances how you use mind-body medicine and relaxation response techniques in your clinical practice. This includes evidence-based skills in meditation, yoga, and tai chi. Throughout the course, faculty review and guide you on how to use these core meditation methods to elicit the relaxation response and help patients decrease stress and enhance well-being. They provide an overview of mind-body techniques and strategies that support a successful meditation practice. Course content also covers evidence-based approaches for mindfulness, imagery, contemplation, empathy and more. Clinicians across all practice settings can use mind-body medicine techniques to help patients reduce stress and lower the long-term prevalence of diseases. This includes obesity, diabetes, hypertension, mood disorders and more. These skills also enhance your own resiliency and protect against burnout. That makes this course ideal for your practice in mental health, primary care, nursing, social work, psychology and more. The course includes an array of resources, videos and other materials to guide you through your learning experience. All content and assignments can be completed whenever your schedule allows. Weekly call-in times allow faculty to hear and respond to your questions directly, and an interactive discussion board lets you post your own questions and interact with peers from across the United States and around the world. Plus, the course is accessible via desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet.
