eMindful’s Services
for Health Care Professionals
Our overall mission is to support optimal health and productivity by building skills for behavioral change, stress reduction, and personal growth. The services we offer healthcare professionals focus on the role of mindfulness in supporting humanism and professionalism in the clinical setting.
A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that mindfulness training can be a pivotal component in:
- Treating and preventing burnout
- Reducing clinical errors
- Promoting patient-centered care
- Enhancing quality of care
- Improving clinician-patient communication
- Enriching professional life
Mindfulness training is one of the best stress management tools available today, and it can help healthcare professionals improve both their own lives and the quality of care they provide. A stressed health care workforce leads to increased costs (from high staff turn-over, medical errors and burnout) and decreased quality of care. Studies suggest that mindfulness training can help physicians improve communication skills, increase empathy, conduct patient-centered interviews, manage burnout, enhance self-efficacy, and improve coping skills. One recent study found that training psychotherapists in mindfulness significantly improved the mental health of the patients under their care (Grepmair et al. 2007).
Mindfulness training is an appropriate choice for health professionals who wish to:
- Manage stress more effectively
- Improve the quality of care they give to patients
- Enhance their communication skills
- Cope with or prevent burnout
- Cultivate increased empathy and compassion
- Reconnect with the humanistic dimension of clinical care
Because all our courses are on-line, busy health professionals can easily access the virtual classroom from home or work. We offer live (real-time) instructor-led training in our classroom with a full array of technological advances to facilitate communication among teacher and students. Feedback from former students indicates a high level of satisfaction with the psychological intimacy of the group. Students frequently tell us that they felt connected to others in the class despite physical distance.
All of eMindful’s classes, coaching, and incentive-based software can be utilized
anywhere there is Internet connectivity.
