Mindfulness Skill Training in Medicine (MSTM)
If you are a healthcare professional, you may benefit from interventions that increase your self-care, awareness, compassion, and other focused concern, reducing the chances of distress and burnout.
Dr. Werner Absenger created the Mindfulness Skill Training in Medicine (MSTM) program for clinicians and healthcare professionals in collaboration with Dr. Kristi Artz.
Rooted in evidence obtained from the field of contemplative neuroscience, Mindfulness Skill Training in Medicine (MSTM) is a four-module course for clinicians and healthcare professionals to help bring mindfulness practice into mainstream medicine.
Led by Doctors Kristi Artz and Werner Absenger, the course provides you with the knowledge and tools to begin and sustain a regular contemplative practice that may enhance your self-care, health, and well-being.
