Representative quotations showing the Applied Mindfulness Program for Medical Personnel was well received by participants
| Participant | Quotation |
|---|---|
| Anesthesiology 36-year medical practice | “I had a very positive experience. I think from pretty much the beginning session up until the end, I think it was a very comfortable, welcoming atmosphere. Kind of a safe space, and it was made very clear early on, so, it was very easy to just kind of lean into it.” |
| Ophthalmology 5-year medical practice | “I had been introduced to mindfulness before, but it was more mindfulness meditation and it was very structured. I learned many ways to integrate mindfulness more regularly into my routine, so things that I am doing anyway, like, walking or eating … I had kind of thought about that before, but never really tried it. So, I thought that was great. Those were my main takeaways.” |
| Sports medicine 12-year medical practice | “It was very content rich … I was wondering how much can you pack into 5 weeks and really pleasantly surprised at the quality of the content — it also broke things down into very manageable practices. I really felt like people left feeling like, yes, I can incorporate this from the get-go, from even from the first session.” |
| Family medicine 8-year medical practice | “The program was empowering, in that seeing other physicians who were dealing with anxiety and burnout and seeing that through meditation, I think, all of us were developing some skills to help with that stuff. It was an empowering experience.” |
