Author: Stephen Liben, Tom A. Hutchinson Full Title: MD Aware: A Mindful Medical Practice Course Guide Publisher: Springer; 1st ed. 2020 edition (September 4, 2019) Year: 2020 ISBN-13: 9783030224301 (978-3-030-22430-1), 9783030224295 (978-3-030-22429-5) ISBN-10: 3030224309, 3030224295 Pages: 188 Language: English Genre: Medicine: Primary Care Medicine File type: PDF (True) Quality: 10/10 Price: 57.19 € This unique, step-by-step guide for instructors offers a comprehensive approach to teaching pre-clerkship medical students -- as well as residents and even experienced physicians -- about the transformational impact of mindful medical practice, or mindful whole person care. Indeed, integrating contemplative practices – such as “presence” and “relationship” -- into medical education is an established but still rapidly growing approach to bringing experiential learning to medical students. This book gives the rationale for administering a mindful medical practice (MMP) course, details the moment to moment process for each of the 7 classes that are outlined, and summarizes a way forward for instructors. Pages of the book can be copied and used in class with students, and there are appendices that include helpful tools a teacher can immediately copy and hand out in each class. Handy, one-page templates are provided at the end of each chapter for teachers to use as a guide while teaching each class. A unique contribution to the medical literature and the increasing focus on mindful medical practice, MD Aware: A Mindfulness-Based Whole Person Care Course Guide for Physicians is not only the ideal resource for teachers interested in setting up an MMP course in a medical school; it is also an invaluable practical guide for any clinician hoping to learn more about the importance and benefits of offering mindful medical practice to patients – and to themselves as healers. ------------- Our members see more.
